The present painting is to be regarded as a fragment of a larger composition, executed in Adriaen Isenbrandt's workshop. The still unknown apprentice probably took Isenbrandt's Descent from the Cross as his model, which is in Oxford at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology (oil on wood, 37 x 28 cm). In the Oxford painting, St. John the Evangelist, the Holy Mother of God and Mary Magdalene, holding Christ's left arm, crowd around the figure of Christ. In our fragment the only partly visible arm of Christ is raised: It indicates the missing figure of Magdalene.
We are grateful to Guido de Werd, Cologne, for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph.
