| One of twelve early fifteenth-century images from the life of Bernard in the chapel dedicated to him at Owen in Wuerttemberg, of which fragments of eleven remain. The first has a standing figure in a cowl on the right and a church building on the left. The second has a similar figure on the left but wearing eucharistic vestments and a mitre and carrying a crozier with a similar but slightly different building on the left (see WA40). The two scenes may represent Bernard as a simple monk entering Citeaux in 1113 and as the abbot he became when founding Clairvaux two years later. The buildings may represent Citeaux and Clairvaux. See also WA40-WA49.
