- Physical Description
- A series of architectural spaces unfold, each showing figures engaged in some activity. At right, the largest figure is shown seated looking upwards towards a light source. The same figure, somewhat smaller, walks from right to left towards a small architectural space at the left where the same figure lays a hand on the head of a kneeling woman. Other scenes continue into the distance.
- Subject Matter
- The artist used sequential depictions of St. Peter to portray several scenes of baptism and other events during his time in Jerusalem. The architectural divisions of the space create discrete episodes of baptism and conversion.
