LabelThis painting, still in its original frame, was once part of a small altarpiece that consisted of three panels, called a triptych. The second panel, which illustrates the Nativity, is also in the Museum's collection. The third panel, which depicts the Annunciation, is in a museum in Zaragoza, 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. |
