Group of figures praying with pope and cardinal. Oil/needlewood, c. 1510/1515. The panel, which has already been ascribed several times, was most recently incorporated into the oeuvre of the painter of the paintings of the high altar retable in ravens with convincing arguments by Dr. Isolde Lübbeke (cf. Isolde Lübbeke, Der verlorene Altar eines Münchner Hofmalers. Hans Ostendorfer I and the "beautiful panel of the choir altar" from 1518 in the collegiate church of Altötting, Wallraf-Richartz-Jahrbuch vol. LXXX, 2019, pp. 29-126, there especially pp. 44 and 87. The fragment could have been the lower left corner of a monumental multi-figured representation, probably of a mantle Madonna or a rosary picture. It also seems conceivable as part of an altar wing. The panel has been the subject of numerous publications: Hubert Wilm, Der Zug der Seligen, 1951, unpublished manuscript, 20S.
