This panel depicts the scenes The Birth of St John the Baptist, and The Virgin Mary Presents Jesus to St Elisabeth and St John the Baptist as a Boy. It is an example of Romanesque painting in which uniformly intense colours were set alongside one another to create strong contrasts. The figures and the background architecture are separated by strongly coloured surfaces. Red, green and blue follow one another alternately, without any reference to the depiction of a real wall, coloured in a unified tone.
