Madonna of Humility, at the hand of the Master of the Dresden Prayer Book

FROM THE GETTY MUSEUM COLLECTION

This Initial O,  from the Master of the Dresden Prayer Book or workshop, shows the 'Madonna of Humility.' Dating to mid-15th century Bruges, this decorated capital letter shows a simple, yet effective, method given to the fabric folds of the figure's dress.
