The pictures provide an excellent example of the late Gothic style of painting particular to the studio of the Master of the Polyptych in Gościszowice. The artist employed both the whole range of the very precisely depicted attributes of the Saints and the symbolism of the objects, at the same time combining the sharp graphic style with a very individualistic manner of elongating figures in motion and flattening detail thanks to the reduced use of the chiaroscuro effect. The colours of the images were lightened, with emphasis put on the lines and contours of the individual parts of the composition.
