Jeremiah

c. 1407
Tempera and gold on panel, 21 x 11 cm
Private collection

The prophet Jeremiah is shown on this panel half-length, in a green robe and white shawl, facing three-quarters to the left. In his right hand he holds the rolled end of a scroll or banderole.

The subject, size, and shape of this recently discovered panel indicate that it once stood in the right framing pilaster of an altarpiece.
