Four Musical Angels

This panel was part of a larger altarpiece. It was the base of the Coronation of the Virgin, now in the National Gallery, London. It was cut from the bottom of the Coronation at some date before 1828 - the year in which the panel entered the Christ Church Collection in Oxford.

In the Oxford panel are the fragmentary figures of John the Baptist on the left, wearing a rich lilac cloak over his camel-hair tunic, and a deacon saint carrying a banner on the right, who is almost certainly identifiable as St Stephen.
