Scene Description: Text on a side plaque: "Triptych: Our Lady of the Tree, attributed to Claeissins. The mongramme P.S. and the date 1620 (left-hand corner) are inexplicable, as Pieter Caeissins died before 1612. The triptych hung originally in the church of the Franciscans. It came to this church in 1779, after the abolition of the Franciscan Friary."
