"Division of the Kingdom of Clotaire" is an illustration from the *Book of Hours* commissioned for Etienne Chevalier, a wealthy French treasurer. Created in 1460 by Jean Fouquet, a leading artist of the Early Netherlandish period, the miniature depicts a fortified town, a river, and soldiers with flags. The town represents the division of Clotaire's kingdom following his death. This exquisite miniature is a testament to Fouquet's ability to capture the details of contemporary life and historical events with striking realism.
