Luttrell Psalter

A scene from the Luttrell Psalter, a 13th-century English manuscript. This scene shows a man playing bagpipes.

Illuminated manuscript executed in 1340 in East Anglia (British Museum, London). The Psalter represents the art of the East Anglian School in its decline, but its marginal illustrations are of great value in depicting the English life and labour of the time.

It was made for Geoffrey Luttrell of Irnham, Lincolnshire, England. He appears in one of the miniatures with his wife Agnes Sutton and his daughter-in-law Beatrice Scrope.
