Shaded penwork

Université de Liège, Ms. W.10, fol. 19v, Column A
Bréviaire (Manuscrit Wittert 10)
Bréviaire à l’usage d’un monastère d’hommes de la ville de Ferrare, exécuté en Italie, probablement à Ferrare vers 1481.
Université de Liège, Ms. W.10, fol. 19v.

Most of the marginal penwork does not have shading, as in this example from the same page:
Université de Liège, Ms. W.10, fol. 19v Column B

On folio 425v, there is another form of embellishment in the penwork:

Université de Liège, Ms. W.10, fol. 425v.
