This miniature, created by an anonymous artist around 1470, depicts the Italian author and poet Boccaccio receiving three women. Boccaccio is shown kneeling in a white robe, extending his hand towards the three women who are adorned in ornate gowns. The scene is set within a tiled room with an archway leading to a cityscape in the background, suggesting an indoor setting. The miniature is a prime example of the style of illumination prevalent in 15th century Europe, characterized by its delicate lines and use of gold and silver.
