## Commentary

This panel was certainly part of a larger altarpiece. It is likely to have been the central pinnacle panel with the mourning Virgin and St John the Evangelist on either side, situated above the Virgin and Child in the centre of the main tier below. This kind of polyptych was common from the mid-fourteenth century onward.
