The composition of the central panel of this triptych relates to Gerard David's The Nativity with Donors and Saints Jerome and Leonard (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art), and Hugo van der Goes' Portinari altarpiece (Florence, Uffizi) and was probably painted in Flanders. Research into the sitters' coats-of-arms has proved inconclusive.

Centre panel: The Adoration of the Shepherds; Inner wings: Saint John the Baptist with a male donor, traditionally identified as Jean Mercier d’Artois; and Saint Elisabeth of Hungary with a female donor, traditionally identified as Elisabeth Escobecque de Brabant; Outer wings: The Annunciation with the donors’ coats­of­arms on the inner wings (upper left and right respectively).
