This miniature illustrates David's canticle of confidence and humility:
"If I was not humbly minded,
but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is
towards his mother, so reward in my soul."
We can
see that the artist's imagination seeins to have failed
him for several of these psalms, for he contented
himself with depicting the King of Israel kneeling
before his Creator in various settings: here, in front
of the open door of a Gothic chapel.
