"Peter II Duke of Bourbon presented by St. Peter" is a 1498 oil-on-panel painting by the Early Netherlandish artist Jean Hey. This left wing of a triptych features Peter II, Duke of Bourbon, depicted as a young nobleman, kneeling in prayer. He is being presented to Saint Peter, who is holding the keys to Heaven, a symbol of his position as the first Pope. The painting is a testament to the patronage of the Bourbon family and highlights the intersection of religious and secular themes in early Netherlandish art. The painting is currently on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
