This delightful French miniature, or illuminated page, on parchment is
from some dismembered Book of Hours. If not painted by Bourdichon
himself, it was certainly done in his studio under his direction. The
invention of printing eventually brought to a close the beautiful art of
illumination, but at the time of Bourdichon it flourished in highest
perfection.
