Doubting Thomas

The episodes Appearence Behind Locked Doors and Doubting Thomas take place in the same surroundings, the house where the apostles took refuge for fear of the Jews.

The Doubting Thomas is the only pánel, apart from the Funeral of the Virgin from the front crowning section, still in its probable original form. The position of Thomas's feet is curious: the right foot is painted as if his legs were crossed under his robe.
