| An early sixteenth-century Book of Hours in Flemish belonging to an unidentified lady who is depicted, richly dressed, at the foot of the Cross (f 57v). A full-page miniature with a Lactation scene in a church. The Virgin sits on a Gothic throne holding the naked Child in her right hand while she squeezes her right breast with her left hand sending a stream of milk towards a kneeling Bernard with hands folded in prayer and a gold crozier leaning on his right shoulder. Five angels float above the throne. Three more angels playing music are in the border which is decorated with flowers against a rosa background.
