@medieval_illuminations #ALT4you Detail of an illuminated manuscript depicting a boar, its forelegs bent in the grass, staring sternly at five piglets lined up, looking up at their (presumably) mother. The painting is of great finesse.
@medieval_illuminations she looks rather stern so probably not sweet bedtime stories with mum. 🤣
