These scenes, together with a representation of the Adoration of the Magi, were once part of a series paired with earlier scenes from the Life of the Virgin. The attribution of these panels to Burgundy is based on their style and iconography, which reveal the influence of Netherlandish panel painting, particularly the work of Robert Campin.
