A full-page illuminated miniature depicts a portrait of Homer. The figure stands, wearing a long yellow robe over a blue tunic, a red sash, and a red cap. He has a long beard and hair, holding a large green and purple book under his left arm while gesturing with his right hand. At his feet stands a white swan. The scene is framed by an architectural portal consisting of two marble-like columns entwined with lush garlands of fruit (apples, grapes, cherries) and leaves. A heavy garland also hangs across the top. The background is a solid purple wash. At the bottom, a rectangular plinth contains a Latin inscription.
