An Amsterdam patrician family kneels devoutly on both sides of a now lost religious scene. Korsgen Elbertsz (d. 1503) is the man with long hair to the right, in the left fragment. In the right fragment his wife, Gheerte van der Schellingh (d. 1506), kneels opposite him. After 1518 the painting was in the Agnietenklooster, the convent that two daughters of the family had entered. Margriet Korsdr is depicted prominently in the foreground. Her little sister Baerte, clothed in the same habit, is visible behind her. By 1728 the altarpiece had been cut down. The present reconstruction assumes a now vanished image of Christ on the Cross with the family members grouped around it. Partly visible draperies are redolent of the angels and saintly figures originally present. In the epitaph on the frame, Margriet Korsdr commemorates her deceased parents.
