The Adoration of the Magi
The three kings worship the baby Jesus on the central panel. The donors, their children and patron saints appear on the wings: the father with his six sons and Saint Jerome (left), and the mother with her seven daughters and Saint Catherine (right). The two children in white shrouds had died. On the outer wings are Saint Christopher and Saint Anthony Abbot.
