Anna Selbdritt Private
Devotional
AltarpieceSt. Catherine of
Alexandria is on the left panel, the other side of which has
St.
Ursula. On the right panel
is St.
Barbara, with St. Dorothy on the
other side. Presumably the kneeling figures are the patrons;
Nixon, p. 146, suggests
that the furry clothing on the male figure may refer to John
the
Baptist and thus identify the patron's name as Johann. Nixon
adds that
an unusually large number of such altarpieces survive from
the period.
