Painted with intricate detail and based on illustrations found in the Ellesmere Manuscript, this 19th-century engraving brings to life the rich tapestry of medieval storytelling. Dressed in traditional clothing befitting his role as a preacher, The Friar stands tall with his bald patch glistening under the sunlight.
