Oil painting, vertical panel depicting a kneeling elderly bearded figure in red robes gesturing toward three angels in pale robes holding scrolls with Gothic text, a woman at a workbench at left, and a hilly landscape with a castle and small figures in the background.
Oil painting of a baptism scene with three figures in the foreground: a robed man pouring water over a standing pale figure in white, attended by kneeling and standing angels. A walled city and green landscape fill the middle ground, with a heavenly figure amid tree branches at top holding a ribbon inscribed with Gothic script.
Oil painting of a central bearded figure in brown robes, hands raised, surrounded by a crowd of figures in colorful garments; a white dove descends from above amid scrolling Gothic script banners, set beneath a painted arch with gold background.
