The panel shows three of the four capital virgins saints Dorothy, Barbara and Catherine as full-length figures within a walled space revealing only a thin strip of sky. Each saint stands in front of a hanging rug decorated with a pomegranate motif. Dorothy can be identified by the basket of flowers she holds in front of her. She is wearing a bluish-green dress enveloped in a red cloak. Occupying the centre of the composition to her left is St Catherine here identified by the sword she prominently displays. She is crowned and wears a sumptuous red velvet robe with a green collar over a purple and pink shot silk dress. St Barbara is depicted absorbed in a book holding a chalice and a host. She is wearing a green dress laced at the waist over a gauzy blouse with a high collar. The sleeves are of shot silk, puffed at the shoulders and wide at the wrist.
