Description
English: 20th-century reconstruction. The Annunciation, originally formed the two outer wings, while the original central panel is now lost. These outer wings were detached in 1929 and joined together to create the central image as it appears today. The four figures seen when the triptych is open stand out against the background, which is green in the central panel and dark blue in the lateral ones, dotted with tiny red flowers. The wings of the triptych in its present form depict two female saints: Saint Catherine on the left, holding a small wheel, and Saint Agnes on the right, holding a martyr’s palm and her attribute of a lamb, symbol of purity. Overall, this work has been related to an Annunciation by an anonymous Cologne painter, now in the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen in Munich. It was displayed with a central image of an Adoration of the Magi of square format dating from around the early 15th century, and that this arrangement dates from the time the painting was in the Weyer collection between 1852 and 1859. The Adoration of the Magi was removed and possibly sold separately when the painting left the Prince of Hohenzollern’s collection.
