Created between 1437-40, this masterpiece is a mixed technique on wood that measures an impressive 158x120.5 cm. Currently housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland, it depicts a significant biblical moment.

Believed to be part of the left wing of a triptych for the Cistercian monastery Olsberg near Rheinfelden, this piece is rich in religious symbolism. Witz's attention to detail is evident as he captures every emotion on their faces during this divine encounter. The late Gothic style adds depth and intricacy to each element within the composition. The wooden panel serves as a canvas for Witz's skillful use of mixed techniques.
