"Sylvan Men" with Heraldic Shields 1499 Oil on lindenwood, 49,3 x 15,9 and 49,7 x 15,7 cm Alte Pinakothek, Munich
The two side panels that represent two "sylvan men" are wings to the portrait of Oswolt Krel. They bear the heraldic shields of the subject and his wife, Agathe von Esendorf. They originally let the portrait be closed from the retro; one could imagine, then, that despite the large dimensions, the painting was to be conserved closed. The present frame has been made recently.
