On Christ's right is the good thief with a polygonal halo; angels carry his soul to heaven. On his left is the bad thief whose pink flesh colour shows he is still alive. His legs are being broken & devils hold a brazier with burning coals over his head. Below, on the left, soldiers cast lots for Christ's garment. On the right are Roman soldiers with scribes & Pharisees. The centurion who recognised Christ as the Son of God is seated on a brown horse. One man holds the sponge of vinegar, which Christ was offered to quench his thirst. In the frame on the left of the Crucifixion are Saint John the Baptist & Saint Paul; on the right Saint James the Greater & Saint Bartholomew. The predella, the lower part of the altarpiece, depicts from left to right, a female saint, Saint Bernard with a book, the Virgin & Child, a monk saint (probably Anthony Abbot), & Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
