The figure kneeling in front of the apparition of the Virgin is the donor, Hieronymus Rudelauf (c. 1450-1523). He is accompanied by the family coat of arms. Rudelauf was one of the first students to matriculate in 1502-03 at the newly founded University of Wittenberg.
This panel, incorporating Cranach's formal properties, was executed in Cranach's workshop by an assistant.
