A miniature painted by a follower of the Masters of the Beady Eyes (Maitres aux Yeux-Bridés), named from their distinctive manner of delineating eyes with firm dark lines and a beady dot.

Although their work relates to that of the earlier Masters of the Gold Scrolls, localised to Bruges, and the Masters of the Beady Eyes were active in that city – producing many manuscripts for export to the English market – they worked mainly in Ghent in the third quarter of the 15th century.
