Saints Genevieve and Apollonia
Saint Genevieve of Paris holds a candle which she miraculously relit when the devil blew it out. Saint Apollonia, next to her, holds the pincers with which her teeth were extracted under torture. Together with its pair displayed nearby, these panels were once the outsides of shutters for an altarpiece for the Elector of Saxony, Frederick the Wise.
