The Polyptych of Isabella the Catholic was executed in the period when Juan de Flandes was in the service of the Queen. This polyptych originally comprised forty-seven small panels (each measuring about 21 x 16 centimetres). Approximately twenty-seven survive, of which two were executed by Michel Sittow. The Christ and the Canaanite Woman is one of the surviving panels.
