Title Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry Folio 1, verso: January
Description
Français : Le duc de Berry, assis en bas à droite, dos au feu, est habillé de bleu et coiffé d'un bonnet de fourrure. Il invite ses gens et ses proches à se présenter à lui. Derrière lui figure l'inscription « Approche Approche ». Plusieurs familiers du duc s'approchent de lui pendant que des serviteurs s'affairent : les échansons servent à boire, deux écuyers tranchants au centre sont vus de dos ; au bout de la table officie un panetier. Au-dessus de la cheminée figurent les armes du duc, « d'azur semé de fleurs de lys d'or, à la bordure engrêlée de gueules », avec de petits ours et des cygnes blessés. Plusieurs animaux de compagnie sont représentés : petits chiens sur la table, lévrier au sol. La tapisserie du fond de la salle semble représenter des épisodes de la guerre de Troie
