This leaf copies two pages in the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most important illuminated manuscripts of the 15th century, started sometime between 1412 and 1416 by the Limbourg brothers.
Sergey Okoev began to copy medieval miniatures in the early 1990s. His work was exhibited in 2011 in the exhibition hall of Yerevan Club, Armenia. It took 10 days to copy the page with St Michael and the Dragon.
