And this is the caption under the picture:

Deux repas par jour
Boccace, Le Décaméron, Flandres, 1432
Paris, BnF, Arsenal, manuscrit 5070 fol. 304

On the left there is a couple dining and on the right, in what appears to be a red room, 
the woman is lying on something while they are kissing/embrasing.
