The day after the Passion, the holy women go to Christ's tomb to embalm him. Mary
Madeleine sees a man near the tomb and initially mistakes him for the gardener. This is why, in many Nordic paintings of the 16th century, Christ is shown as a gardener with a shovel and, here, with a straw hat of the trades working outdoors.
The axe visible on the outer shutters is probably a telling weapon, in other words, it evokes the name of the family
the name of the family who commissioned this triptych.
