Elizabeth of Hungary: Feeding poor―An angel extends one of three crowns held in her left hand toward the head of Elizabeth of Hungary, who is nimbed and wearing a veil and wimple. Elizabeth is giving a loaf from a basket to a man dressed in rags holding a basket on his right hand. She stands within doorway of a building.
The scene is framed by a decorated border.
