The panel illustrates part of a scene of Childebert receiving St Germain and shows Childebert flanked by a soldier in the act of conversation with a figure, now missing, to the left. The now lost quadrant showed St Germain with mitre and crozier and is the subject of a watercolour in the Musée Carnavalet, Paris. This panel comes from one of two windows in the St Germain-des-Près Lady Chapel illustrating the life of St Germain. M B Shepard has written a paper on these St Germain windows: M B Shepard, 'The St Germain windows from the thirteenth-century Lady Chapel at St Germain-des-Près' in: E C Parker & M B Shepard (eds), "The Cloisters: Studies in Honor of the fiftieth Anniversary", Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1992, pp.283-301.
