An eighteenth-&shy;century description, written before the altarpiece was dismembered, allows for a reconstruction of some of the other parts: half-length figures of Saint Gregory the Great (location unknown) and Saint Paul (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nancy) were among the four panels flanking the central panel, while a Saint Benedict and a Saint Michael (Nationalmuseum, Stockholm) were on the upper tier.
