A vertically oriented illumination on parchment features Samuel, a man with a light skin tone and gray beard, wearing a blue robe. He pours oil from a vessel over a kneeling David, who wears a crown and golden robe. Two men in hats stand in a doorway to our right. Framed by golden columns, the scene sits above black Latin text with ornate initials. A distant cityscape with towers and blue sky fills the background.
