介绍（中）	圣斯蒂芬坐在一张低矮的、部分覆盖的、没有靠背的长椅上。他在一件长束腰外衣外穿了一件dalmatic，表明了他作为执事在教堂中的地位，右手拿着一本打开的书，上面支撑着三块石头，指的是他被石头砸死。斯蒂芬被尊为第一位基督教殉道者，在《使徒行传》（6-7）中讲述了他的故事这件作品由三块木头雕刻而成：一块用于圣人，另两块用于座椅的横向延伸。模型非常令人信服，从正面看，这个人物，实际上是一个浮雕，看起来完全是圆形的。这尊雕像保存得很好，除了丢失了大部分原始的多色。浮雕可能曾经是一系列圣人坐像的一部分，其中可能包括圣劳伦斯，另一位执事圣人，在晚期哥特式艺术中经常与圣斯蒂芬一起描绘，这幅圣斯蒂芬的画像是博物馆收藏的这一时期德国雕塑中一个特别受欢迎的补充。这是该系列中唯一一个伦伯格作品的例子，尤其值得注意的是其窗帘的生动执行，其深深的扇形凹陷、外脊的面团状增厚、断裂的连接褶皱和令人费解的漩涡边缘。
介绍（英）	Saint Stephen sits upon a low, partially draped, backless bench. He wears a dalmatic over a long tunic, indicating his position in the church as a deacon, and in his right hand he holds an open book supporting three rocks, referring to his death by stoning. Revered as the first Christian martyr, Stephen's story is recounted in the Acts of the Apostles (6-7). The work is carved from three pieces of wood: one was used for the saint and the other two for the lateral extensions of the seat. The modeling is so convincing that when viewed from the front, the figure, in fact a sculpture in relief, appears to be rendered fully in the round. The statue is well preserved except for the loss of much of the original polychromy. The relief probably was once part of a series of seated figures of saints that may have included Saint Lawrence, another deacon saint often depicted together with Saint Stephen in Late Gothic art. Attributed to one of the foremost Late Gothic sculptors of Lower Bavaria, Hans Leinberger of Landshut, this portrayal of Saint Stephen represented an especially welcome addition to the Museum's collection of German sculpture of the period. It is the only example of Leinberger's work in the collection, and it is particularly notable for the animated execution of drapery, with its deeply scalloped recesses, the doughlike thickening of the outer ridges, broken connecting folds, and inexplicably swirling edges.
