The panel is thought to have come from their family chapel in the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Amsterdam (information from Roos Verkleij). The scene was probably fairly generic, but a similar panel with Andrew and an unknown donor can also be found at the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore.  (ObjectID=3831 ImageID=6754) Original File Name=Llanwenllwyfo_MG_7446.jpg
