The Werl Altarpiece (right wing) is a significant work of early Netherlandish painting, attributed to the masterful artist Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. Created in 1438, this altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the innovative use of oil paint, which was a relatively new medium at the time. The right wing of the altarpiece specifically features a depiction of Saint Barbara, a Christian martyr and one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, who was venerated for her protection against sudden death.

In this panel, Saint Barbara is portrayed in a domestic interior, a setting that reflects Campin's skill in rendering everyday life with meticulous attention to detail. She is seated at a reading desk, engrossed in a book, symbolizing her piety and scholarly pursuits. The background includes a window through which a meticulously painted landscape can be seen, showcasing Campin's ability to blend interior and exterior spaces seamlessly. The inclusion of various objects, such as the book, the candle, and the tower (a reference to her imprisonment), are laden with symbolic meaning, enhancing the narrative of her martyrdom and virtues.

Campin's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to texture and material, are evident in the rendering of fabrics, the wooden furniture, and the stone floor, all of which contribute to the lifelike quality of the scene. The right wing of the Werl Altarpiece not only exemplifies Campin's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex theological themes through everyday settings and objects.

This work is part of a larger triptych, with the central panel and left wing also containing significant religious iconography. The altarpiece was commissioned by Heinrich von Werl, a Franciscan friar, which underscores the work's devotional purpose and its role in the religious practices of the time. Today, the Werl Altarpiece is considered a masterpiece of early Netherlandish art, reflecting the transition from medieval to Renaissance artistic sensibilities.
