## Commentary

The exterior of the triptych features an Annunciation in grisaille on a red marbled background. The grisaille is damaged but the interior has remained intact apart from a few minor gaps. It corresponds almost literally with the Assumption triptych in St James&#39; Church in Bruges, so that a similar dating \(1520-25\) seems most likely.
