This double-sided panel shows on one side St Lawrence before the Emperor and on the other Clothing the Naked. The work is a fragment of an altarpiece shutter, in which the St Lawrence scene would have been oriented to the interior, visible in the altarpiece's open state.
Three other double-sided panels were recognized as part of the same altarpiece. These panels also depict acts of mercy on the exterior, and scenes from the life of St Lawrence and St John the Baptist on the interior. The dismantled altarpiece was attributed to an unknown master in Salzburg named after this ensemble as Master of the Acts of Mercy.
