The Illuminator in the Scriptorium – This is how it could look

In a medieval scriptorium cross-section a monk-illuminator paints an ornate letter-initial on vellum with a fine brush, six pigment-pots beside him. A detail inset shows the letter C with interlace. Six bound books on shelves, a sleeping cat, two more monks and three candles. A patient study.
