Description:
1525. Fragment of panel showing Bernard on his deathbed. Bernard himself is not seen, but the upper half of two mitred bishops and some laymen on the right and a group of tonsured monks together with a single lay brother depicted with a beard and the traditional fringed hair. May be compared with the equivalent Altenberg panel (see GL49).
