One of eight scenes from the lives of the saints painted in 1432, five of them depicting Bernard, from the two side wings of an altarpiece from one of the side chapels built at Maulbronn in 1424, four of them on the inside and four on the outside. The lower picture on the right outside features Bernard with a crozier in his right hand and a book in his left surrounded by the poor, sick, and crippled for whom he did so much by way of healing. The scene is in a landscape with trees and a fence in the background. Bernard is wearing a black cowl, but he holds this up so that the white of his tunic shows. See also PA057-060.
