Martyrdom of St. Ursula

The scene of Ursula's martyrdom takes up almost the entire panel. She stands in the center, dressed in yellow with a blue stole. A golden halo surrounds her head and silhouettes her crown. Behind her, on the right, is her throng of retainers who will meet the same fate. On the left in dramatic foreshortening are two executioners. Striding forward, closest to the viewer, one is clothed in green shirt and red trousers. To the left a helmeted man with blue doublet draws back his bow to shoot. Above the scene, angels appear in the heavens holding laurel crowns of victory and palms of martyrdom. The narrative is framed by columns at the side and a rounded arch at the top. Urns with fruit appear the spandrels. An inscription appears at the of the bottom of the panel.
