The left panel shows Mary Magdalene, the right panel St. Veronica. In the middle, from left to right: John the Apostle, Mary, and the couple who paid for the painting.

The emotional state of the women is remarkable - Mary, mother of Christ, is the more emotional party, while Mary Magdalene is the more subdued. This is traditionally the other way round.
