Polptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, The panel shows several separate images within smaller frames surrounding the central image of the titular Saint Vincent Ferrer. The saint is dressed in monastic clothing and holds an open book, though the script is too small to be legible. Around him are scenes from his life. Beginning from the top left and moving down: a marriage he conducts, a sermon he gives to many, and him praying to a devotional panel of the Madonna and Child. From the top right: him blessing a family with a perished child, the saint meeting Christ, the saint appearing in the clouds over a night sky. The bottom panels have three scenes, though the far left is obscured in the photograph. The far left scene shows him either rebuking or healing a woman being held by a crowd and other uncouth-looking individuals close by, the middle is a woman reading a book towards what is probably a memorial statue, and on the far right it is him on his deathbed. Though the scenes are not labeled they are included and representative of the saint's life. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images.

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the bottom left panel from the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer.

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the middle scene from the predella of the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer. A woman kneels in the middle wearing a contemporary fifteenth century headdress, and two children are behind her. Each seems to hold his or her own large book which he or she reads out of, perhaps the Bible or a prayer book. She prays before an altar or altar table with three small statues on it. The table is rendered to look as though it is within an apsidal niche. At the far left of the scene, a man standing halfway behind a curtain and watching the scene. Since the saint is not visible, this may be a posthumous panel showing the donor's wife praying to a statue of the saint which sits on the table.

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the bottom right scene from the predella of the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer.

A bishop reads out of a book and a monk beside him holds a swinging thurible. Monks frame either side of the small room, though none are shown behind the bed. Here there are two angels flying a nude male figure, presumably the saint's soul, up to an icon, presumably God the Father or a prophet.

Annunciation panel from the Triptych of the Annunciation, The central panel of the Triptych of the Annunciation shows the Annunciation scene. It is rendered within a contemporary fifteenth-century church, showing several rows of columns and a small window. In the above left, the bearded man represents God the Father, holding an orb in his left hand, with two angels behind him. He holds up his right hand in a gesture of blessing and beams descend diagonally down to Mary; within them is a rendering of a miniscule baby being sent down through the beams to Mary. She kneels before an altar with an open book, wearing an ornate gown with floral decorations that gathers in folds on the floor. Between her and the Archangel Gabriel on the left, there is a vase of lilies, the symbol of her purity and Immaculate Conception. Gabriel has wings and wears a clerical garment with saints depicted on the fringes. His hair is long, his face youthful and unbearded, and he holds up his right and hand and points the left at Mary.

Saint Jerome and the Lion, The artist renders Saint Jerome removing a thorn from the paw of a lion. The two are presumably within Jerome's study, due to the shelves surrounding him filled with books and the open Bible at his podium, a signifier of his translating the Bible into "vulgar" or common language. Another visual attribution of the saint is his red had on the table behind the lion, this hat is often depicted on the saint and shows his church office.

Madonna and Child and Flight into Egypt, The Madonna and Child both hold open books; Mary stands before hers on a podium, and the Baby Jesus holds his open as he sits. Mary holds a flower in her left hand, and the child holds an orb. Behind them is an exotic landscape with palms and large rocks. Coming through a standing gate Mary and Jesus ride on a donkey while Joseph walks alongside. Due to the landscape and the baby's appearance, this looks to be after the child is born and the family goes to Egypt to escape King Herod.
