The Dead Christ and the Virgin
The Virgin Mary touches the wound in the side of the dead Christ, while two mourning angels appear above. This is one wing of a diptych. The other wing shows Saint John the Evangelist and Mary Magdalen. Such a combination of half-length figures in a diptych appears to be unique.
