The Jabach Altarpiece comprises two pairs of oil on lime tree panel paintings by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, executed around 1503–1504. Originally a triptych, the central panels are lost. Only the outer and inner side panels are now preserved: the left picture with Job and His Wife, measuring 96 × 51.5 cm, is housed in the Städel of Frankfurt; the picture of the Piper and a Drummer on the right, measuring 94 x 57 cm, is housed in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum of Cologne. These two certain paintings of the Jabach Altarpiece form a single image on the external shutters once closed. The two share a common background, and the dress of Job's wife continues to the right panel as well.[1]
The two pairs of Apostles on gilded background now at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich –Sts. Joseph and Joachim (96 × 54 cm), and Sts. Simon and Lazarus (97 × 55 cm)– have been commonly associated with the polyptych. They are supposedly the panels on the inside of the wings.
