St Eligius's Mother Told of Her Son's Future Fame

The room on the right shows the basic elements of a late medieval bedroom: a hooded fireplace and complicated structure for a bed with its own walls, shelf, and bench chests. The sleeping figure on the left appears in a similar structure, itself set in an alcove.

This painting is one of the four existing panels which were part of a polyptych with stories of St Eligius. Another panel is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, two others are at presently unknown locations.
