Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[Davidsch]

Illustrated: coloured drawings of alchemical subjects: N1 [f.2v] and N2 [f.3r]. N1: a naked Queen stands before a tree in fruit with a bird perched just above her head, the sun is to her right, the moon to her left, more birds are to the sides;

Well,  on my screen the sun is on the left, and for all viewers, except for her: she sees the sun on her right, that is correct. Is that the way medievalists wrote and drew? From the perspective of the person in the drawing ????
