The Passion of St. Vincent of Saragossa and the History of His Relics: Detail, Dacian condemns Valerian and Vincent to death

At the order of the provost Dacian (on the left), his servant takes St. Vincent and St. Valerian off to their execution. Presumably the original windows included a scene of that execution, and probably also of the tortures Vincent suffered.

The chain and cudgel of the earlier scenes are repeated here. Valerian still wears his mitre and his rose-colored chasuble, and Dacian his red mantle and green tunic. But the white and yellow colors of Vincent's two garments have reversed from the previous scene, and the servant with the cudgel seems to have changed his clothes entirely.
