LabelThis painting, still in its original frames, was once part of a small altarpiece that consisted of three panels, called a triptych. The third panel, which depicts the annunciation, is in a museum in Saragossa, Spain.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
