This miniature, by the Limbourg brothers, depicts the biblical story of David and Nathan, from the Book of Samuel. The brothers were active in the early 15th century and are famous for their work on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. The scene, rendered with exquisite detail, shows King David seated on a throne, in conversation with the prophet Nathan. Nathan, dressed in a red robe, is accusing David of his sin, highlighting the rich colors and meticulous detail that characterize the Limbourg brothers' style.
