Virgin and Child

This painting of the Virgin and Child is an example of devotional panels painted by an independent master working in the tradition of Gerard David. The motif of the Christ Child holding open the page in his mother's breviary is taken from Rogier van der Weyden's Duran Madonna.

The painting, known in at least two other variants, shows close similarities to that on the rear of the left wing of Gerard David's Triptych of Jan Des Trompes, indicating its origin from Bruges.
