The Nativity, 1423. Mary and Joseph kneel before the baby Jesus, with the shepherds beyond. In the distance a shepherd tends to his flock. God looks down from heaven. Marginal scenes from the Christmas story, and text with decorated initial 'D'. Elaborate border comprised of intertwined flowers, with a bird among yellow lilies, and a rabbit warren. From the Hours of the Virgin at Prime, Bedford Hours, for the Duke of Bedford.
