When these ten roundels were included in the 1928 auction (see Provenance), the set of three lots included five additional roundels.  Most of the scenes depicted correspond with the Mysteries of the Rosary (two in the present group, the Death of the Virgin and the Descent into Limbo do not) and probably formed part of a larger altarpiece.  They were sold with a certificate from Dr. Max Friedländer who ascribed them in full to Colin de Coter.
