Angels presenting the arms of Halewyn impaling Van Ghistele

Attributed to the Workshop of Nardon Pénicaud French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

From the direction of the gazes and the tilt of the head of the figure at center left, it is possible to suggest that the four angels were originally intended as witnesses to a scene, perhaps a Nativity, on another plaque framed below this one, along with others, in a triptych.
