Recto: The left moveable wing shows the Annunciation in the upper field. The Virgin sits at the left with an open book on her lap, and a dove representing the Holy Spirit hovers above her. From the right the angel conveys the message, made visible on a banner. A green curtain is attached to a column in the background. The lower field shows the scene of the Visitation set in a rocky landscape.
Verso: the reverse of the left moveable wing shows St Wenzel as a full-length figure, wearing decorative armour and holding a lance, a flag and a shield bearing the eagle. He faces right and stands against a curtain backdrop. This conceals the room to which the arched architectural element with three circular openings belongs. The panel has a rounded top and is completed by golden spandrels decorated with an organic ornamentation. The point of the lance extends into this zone.
