This piece was illustrated by Froment, Nicolas. There is no visible artist signature.

A Frenchman from the north, this late Medieval / early Renaissance artist belonged to the Second School of Avignon, and is most known for his elaborate triptych commonly referred to as "The Burning Bush". He blended contemporary figures with religious in a lot of his work, which primarily consists of a handful of polyptychs now located in churches, cathedrals and museums across France.
