Description

This illumination depicts a portrait of a woman named Claudia, who was a vestal virgin in Rome. She is illustrated looking down at a bird that is perched on her right hand. Boccaccio explains that Claudia is worthy of praise and renown as she had physically stopped a man who was trying to attack her consul father in a large crowd.
