Created in Paris, France around 1405, this exquisite artwork is an embodiment of elegance and romance. The composition depicts a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. A chivalrous knight stands tall at the center, representing courtesy and honor. His noble presence is juxtaposed by the figure of Idleness, who opens the door for a lover to enter.
