Open, this whole altarpiece is less than 70 centimetres across, and its central Calvary is painted on a surface 37 centimetres high. It was made around 1525 for a couple's private prayers, and the Rijksmuseum attributes it, with caution, to the anonymous painter called Pseudo Jan Wellens de Cock.

The couple kneel on the wings in black, the husband with Saint Peter, the wife with Saint James, a rosary in her hands. They share one landscape with Golgotha, as if present at the execution. Soldiers and riders crowd around the crosses, and a skull lies on the ground, since Golgotha means the place of the skull.

High on each wing a small angel carries a coat of arms. One shield holds a house mark, a cross in a triangle topped by a shape like the numeral four, the kind of sign a burgher family put on its goods.
