It has been suggested that the work might be by a Netherlandish hand, citing similarities in the work of Joachim Patinir and Jacob Cornelisz. van Oostsanen. Saint Peter is shown, carrying a very large key over his shoulder. In the background is a rocky landscape with a town which is presumably meant to be Jerusalem or Rome.
