Description:
Small woocut on title page of Bernard's 'Primo epistola de perfectione vite' and 'Secundo liber de reformatione virium anime'. On the left Bernard kneels, hands clasped in prayer and his crozier with sudariun flying under his right arm, before the Virgin and Child enthroned on the right. The Virgin squeezes her bared breast with her left hand and sends a jet of milk in Bernard's direction. The scene takes place within a room.
