The altarpiece consists of a total of 24 framed panels, which make up two views, open and closed, which are

changed by moving the hinged outer wings. The upper register (row) of the opened view shows Christ

the King (but see below) between the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. The insides of the wings represent

angels singing and making music, and on the outside Adam and Eve. The lower register of the central panel shows the adoration of the Lamb of God, with several

groups in attendance and streaming in to worship, overseen by the dove representing the Holy Spirit. On

weekdays the wings were closed, showing the Annunciation of Mary and donor portraits of Joost Vijdt

and his wife Lysbette Borluut.
