Lot Essay

An attribution to Pieter Claeissens I (circa 1500-1576) has been suggested

We would like to thank the Iconographical Department of the R.K.D., The Hague, for identifying Saint Norbert on the reverse of the left wing and for pointing out that this Saint was mainly worshipped in Grimbergen and Antwerp
