This is a medieval manuscript illumination depicting a scene with a grand cathedral as its focal point. The cathedral, likely Notre Dame, dominates the cityscape, with numerous buildings clustered around it. A river flows through the city, spanned by a bridge, and the landscape extends into rolling hills in the background. In the foreground, a group of people, dressed in vibrant medieval clothing, are gazing upwards. They are a mix of genders and ages, and their clothing suggests a range of social statuses. Above them, in the sky, are several angels, depicted with golden wings, seemingly descending from a beam of light. The sky is a gradient of blue, and the overall style is characteristic of medieval art, with a focus on symbolism and religious themes. The illumination is framed by a decorative border, and there is text written in Latin at the bottom of the image.
