(Seilern Triptych)
Triptych has an original frame, which unusual form with four semi-circles is unparallel in surviving panel paintings. All three panels compose the same picture. This is particularly evident in depiction of landscape, which is the same across all three panels. This was the first known triptych in the history, which treats the open panels as one picture.
