Master of the Miracles of Mariazell

Artist, German, active early 16th century

This is a drawing of a medieval interior scene. The drawing depicts an ornately decorated room featuring a canopied bed with intricate details. A figure in regal attire, wearing a crown and robe with a large halo-like design around their head, seems to be bestowing a blessing or performing a ritual over another figure lying on the bed. The architecture within the scene is very detailed, including a decorative column, patterned floor tiles, and a window through which an outdoor urban landscape can be seen. Another panel on the wall portrays a religious image.
