The bleak exterior of the triptych could very well be a reference to the unexpected death of Jean Braque. The text on the right is from Jesus Sirach 41: "O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat!"
