In the panel from Saint-Ouen, in Rouen, Bartholomew administers baptism to those who have accepted his teaching, beginning with King Polémius and members of the royal household.

The richly patterned damask background, painted in deep green and soft red tones, evokes the ceremony’s dignity and situates it within a luxurious, courtly environment.
