Llangattock Hours-manuscripts(20/?)

Between 1450 and 1460 this book of hours was produced in Flanders (probably Bruges). The style of the manuscript seems to be inspired by Jan van Eyck and it shows a great deal of his influence. On some pages, the artist even copies from the master’s compositions. I like this image a lot because it clearly shows women in a place that is too often thought of as a only-men place.
