Pieter Aertsen biography

This is the lefthand panel of a triptych. On the right is the front, showing one of the three magi. On the left is the reverse of the panel. The scene displayed is either the Circumcision or the Presentation in the Temple.

This panel is higher than the central panel. That makes it likely that the central panel used to be higher.
