Altarpiece with Prophets, The piece is divided up into five sections by architectural niches that are within the image. Within the middle is Christ, shown half-clothed, and flanked by two women, presumably Mary Mother of Christ and Mary Magdelene. He is displaying his pierced side to the woman on his right. Four men are within four niches, two on the left of Christ's niche, and two on the right. According to the banners each one is holding, it gives the name of the man. The farthest left reads, "Daniel Prophet". Between him and Christ the man's banner reads, "David King Prophet", and he is shown holding a musical instrument, a lyre or a harp. To the viewer's immediate right of Christ the man's banner reads, "Zechariah Prophet." The final man and his banner who are seated farthest right, however, are unknown.
