The grouping of people, each with distinct expressions and actions, creates a sense of tension and excitement. Ms 490, Folio 63r, is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the artistic mastery of the Gothic era. This masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and the rich history it represents.
