Depicts
The Met's own collection API subject tags name Judas directly among the figures this Passion diptych depicts, alongside Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Last Supper and Crucifixion narratives. He appears as one of several named figures within a Passion narrative cycle rather than as the panel's sole subject, which the corroborating Wikipedia record confirms is his conventional mode of depiction.
