Three Facsimiles Of Tuscan Illuminated Manuscripts From The Quattrocento
Three pages from the Gradual featuring illustrated initials, hand-painted in gouache on a photographic background.
They are sold mounted under glass, unframed. They likely date from the late 19th or early 20th century, before the advent of color reproduction.

The other, depicting the Assumption of the Virgin, is based on a work by Girolamo da Cremona (active between 1451 and 1483) and is housed in the same location.
Dimensions of the Adoration of the Magi: 27x22 cm
Dimensions of the Assumption: 27x21.7 cm.
