It is by the Orosius Master, ca. 1412: Laches accuses Sostrata. Paris, Bil. de L'Arsenal, ms. 664. fol. 213v. It was illustrating a Roman playwright's plays, but I can't find easily which playwright. The picture may be found in French Painting in the Time of Jean de Berry: The Limbourgs and Their Contemporaries (Plates volume), by Millard Meiss, George Braziller, NY. ISBN 0-8076-0734-7. The text volume does say which playwright, somewhere. Ann in CT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
