The evangelist Luke writes his gospel. Next to him the winged ox. In the background the crucifixion of Christ and the two thieves. Mary and others mourn at the foot of the cross. On the right side the adoration of the Christ child by the shepherds. In the margin a four-line inscription, in two columns, in Latin.
