On his day of death his wife Johanna van Leyenburg is mentioned with him, although she died at a later date. Though not made explicit, this implies (if only because someone had to transfer the information about Dirks exact date of death) that she had traveled with her husband to Jerusalem. However, she is not displayed (ninth from the left, behind her husband) with the attributes of the Jerusalem pilgrimage. Dirk van Zwieten was the uncle of the Jerusalem pilgrim Hugo van Zwieten, who is included on the Leiden text panel for sixteen pilgrims. As mentioned in the text under Johanna van Zwieten's portrait (second from the left), she had the panel renewed in 1552, because it was worn. What this renewal exactly encompassed, however, is unknown. In any case, it is apparent that the composition of the panel is quite different from other memorial panels, since the focus lies less on the devotional object (Mary and Child) than on the family members and the devotional object is not placed in the center. The latter can be explained by Johanna's renewal, because in order to include her own portrait with lineage to Boudewijn van Zwieten in the painting, she had to expand it to the left (See van Bueren 1999) Literature Bueren, Truus van, Leven na de dood: gedenken in de late Middeleeuwen (Turnhout 1999), pp. 238-240 Damen, Maria, De staat van dienst.
