Sick and Dying

Deathbed, a page from The Hours of Catherine of Cleves.

Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, The Netherlands, Utrecht, ca. 1440.

 

Lively action here:

As a man dies, his wife offers him a candle, a doctor examines his urine, and his son conspires against him. This mercenary heir is shown again, raiding his father's coffers in the bottom border.
