Vincent de Kastav, The Presentation in the Temple

1474
Fresco
Church of St. Mary, Beram, Istria

Most of the hallmarks of late medieval Presentation iconography are here: Simeon's uncovered hands, the placement of the baby on the altar, the candle held by Anna (or possibly Elizabeth), and the young woman with the basket of doves. The man at that young woman's back is probably St. Joseph.
