The author of this work has been identified as the painter of an Adoration of the Magi signed, apocryphally, Hericus Blesius Fecit (Munich, Alte Pinakothek). The Museo del Prado’s work presents the same subject on its central panel, while the lateral panels present Old-Testament scenes with King David and King Solomon. These two are considered prefigurations of Christ, which must have been the triptych’s main subject. This is also demonstrated by the scene of Cain and Abel that appears on a tondo in a ruined arch, and the figure of a sybil over the pointed arch that shelters the main group of figures. The style is representative of Antwerp’s mannerist school: elegant and decorative in lines especially perceptible in its figures, as well as a plethora of rich details masterfully rendered with precise brushstrokes (Text from La Belleza Cautiva. Pequeños tesoros del Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional del Prado, Obra Social la Caixa, 2014, p. 66).
