## Commentary

This master treats the physiognomies of the figures in a personal way: with their large foreheads and expressive dark eyes, their modest, tight-lipped smiles, and their long, well drawn hands, the figures of the Master of the Legend of Saint Ursula are highly characteristic. The master was fond of celebrating his native Bruges through the recurrent inclusion of the highly distinctive silhouette of the city in the backgrounds of his paintings.
