Note du spécialiste

These wings originally flanked a Lamentation to form a triptych, which was formerly in the von Kaufmann collection, Berlin. The central panel is now in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam (68.5 x 52.8cm.; Inv. no. 2471). Dirk de Vos (op. cit.) dates the triptych to circa 1470-75, noting its damaged state.
