The image captures her in an intimate moment of creativity, as she is seen diligently writing on vellum. The photograph is a close-up detail from an Anthology of French Poems dating back to the late 13th century. It beautifully highlights Marie de France's contribution to literature and her significant role in shaping medieval French poetry. Seated at her desk, illuminated by soft light, Marie de France exudes scholarly elegance. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to her craft as she carefully pens down words that would inspire generations to come.
