Description:
Small circular glass panel in yellow grisaille produced in a Leuven workshop and representing a nimbed standing Bernard with a crozier with sudarium attached in his right hand and a closed book with clasp in his left hand. He wears a cap. A small devil is at his feet. Bernard stands on grass and there are trees in the background. It is a copy of the righthand wing of the Erasmus altarpiece painted by Dirk Bouts some fifty years earlier (see PA006).
