The upper field of the right fixed wing depicts St Roche to whom an angel appears while he is tending his flock and cures him of his leprosy. In the lower field St George is shown in full armour on horseback with the dragon, who he has already felled with his lance. In the background St Agnes who was saved by him is visible. When closed the altarpiece shows in addition to these two scenes four episodes from the Life of St Nicholas as well as those of Sts Job and Martin.
