    "description": "This Book of Hours was created ca. 1450-55 in Bruges by Willem Vrelant and associates. It was commissioned for its first owners, a husband and wife, who are depicted on fols. 138r and 150v, respectively. This book contains eighteen extant miniatures, including many unusual thematic depictions, such as the Buffeting of Christ (fol. 24r) in the Hours of the Cross, and a very Dürer-like depiction of the Holy Face in the Suffrages (fol. 146r).",
    "provenance": "Eugéne Paillet, Paris, mid-late 19th century; purchased by Damascéne Morgand, 1887. Purchased by Henry Walters, Baltimore, early 20th century; by bequest to Walters Art Museum, 1931.",
