None of your concern

Just a monkey playing the bagpipes in 1497, and a Large White (?) butterfly.

(British Library, Add. MS 18851, f.412v - a Breviary once owned by Isabella I of Castille!)

@SW-User Or if nothing else, that monks got bored and had a big box of paints!

Isn't the monkey holding the bag pipes upside down?

@Bang5luts Give him a chance!

Actually not sure but I know on standard highland pipes of today, the end with the finger holes is at the bottom while the mouthpiece is at the top..

@Persephonee I also believe that is correct. Any idea of when this painting(?) was created?
