The staffage is by a different hand, working in the style of Jan Sanders van Hemessen.

The composition is similar to that by a follower of Patinir in the Bearsted Collection, Upton House, Banbury, U.K. (R.A. Koch, Joachim Patinir, 1966, p.84, no.35, fig.66).

The subject is taken from Matthew IV:1-11; Mark I:12-13 and Luke IV:1-13. The main scene here shows the devil's first Temptation of Christ, in which the devil, disguised as a monk but betraying himself by his cloven hoof, offers Christ a stone and asks him to turn it into bread. The third Temptation is depicted on the far left, where Christ and the Devil are standing on a mountain top.
