Martyrdom of Saint Lucy, multi-scene panel

A multi-scene panel showing the martyrdom of Saint Lucy: in the foreground a woman in a pink gown stands by a small fire while a man in armor lunges with a sword near her throat. Onlookers crowd a green landscape beneath a walled building, and a kneeling figure in red works at the ground.
