Description:
From the Rules of the Scuola of St John the Evangelist. Bernard kneels at a prie-dieu with an open book before him in which he appears to be writing while at the same time looking up at the the Virgin who, accompanied by two angels, appears in the sky against a bright red background surrounded by rays. The scene is set in a green wooded landscape. Bernard has 'tuft'.
