Catalogue Note

The prototype for the present work is the left wing of the triptych by Pieter Coecke van Aelst in the Church of St. Plechelmus, Oldenzaal (M. J.Friedlander, Early Netherlandish Painting, vol. XII, 1975, p.104, cat. no. 142, reproduced as plate 72).  Several versions by the studio and followers of Pieter Coeke van Aelst survive.
