The Lamentation of Christ, This piece depicts the lamentation of Christ. The Virgin solemnly holds his corpse while two Bridgittine monks and two Bridgittine nuns kneel in prayer. Standing, to the left of the Virgin and Christ are St. Peter, holding the keys to heaven, and St. Bridget of Sweden holding her pilgrim's staff. To the right of the Virgin and Christ stand St. Andrew, with his X-shaped cross, and St. Agnes, with her lamb. Golgotha and the other crucified criminals can be seen in the background.
