Medium	oil on panel
Dimensions	71 cm × 70.6 cm (28 in × 27.8 in); 71.5 cm diameter (28.1 in)

The figure is similar to the man depicted in The Path of Life panel on the exterior of The Haywain Triptych. The character has been interpreted as choosing between the path of virtue at the gate on the right or debauchery in the house on the left, or as the prodigal son returning home from the world.[2]
