When closed, this work shows its patrons kneeling before illusionistic sculptures of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. Statuesque depictions of Cain and Abel appear above the nude Adam and Eve on the sides of this work, in which a red-robed Jesus wears a papal crown. Saints, martyrs, and apostles gather in the largest panel of this work to honor a creature whose blood is pouring into a chalice. It is sometimes titled for that panel, the Adoration of the Lamb.
