The workshop of the Master of Rabenden has applied this iconography on repeated occasions. Despite the varying characters, the stylistic characteristics are specific to its production. In the first place, in the attitude of the characters which is always frontal, the legs apart. In addition, heavy garments with alternating areas of soft folds and tight spaces. We also note the massive forms, the broad and strong hands with almost square fingers, the faces with heavy features and oblique eyes. These are the specific characteristics of the Master of Rabenden and his companions that we find here.
