The Beauties of Mary original: "Mariæ decora"

A full-page woodcut illustration framed by a decorative border of entwined flowers, leaves, and a bird at the top. The central figure is a woman with long, flowing hair, representing the Virgin Mary, standing in a symbolic garden landscape known as the Hortus Conclusus enclosed garden. She is draped in a large, textured mantle. Above her, seated upon clouds, is a crowned figure holding a globus cruciger cross-topped orb, representing God the Father. In the upper left corner, a sun with a human face shines down alongside a radiant eight-pointed star. In the background to the right stands a tall, multi-story tower. To the left, an ornate fountain pours water into a tiered basin. The ground is densely populated with various plants and flowers. The woman’s gaze is directed downward and to her right toward the fountain.
