The Virgin from a Pentecost Scene and the Figure of Saint Martin

ca. 1245–48
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08
It is possible that the figure of the Virgin and the two seated apostles (the head of the figure behind is a medieval replacement) come from a panel representing the pentecost. The figure of Saint Martin came from another window dedicated to that saint.
