David's painting was almost certainly commissioned by the kneeling figure on the left, Richard de Visch van der Capelle, a cantor of Saint Donatian, Bruges. Here you see the Virgin and Child, enthroned in a walled garden with Saint Barbara on the right, Mary Magdalene holding an ointment jar and Saint Catherine receives a ring from the infant Christ.
