This panel portraying the standing figure of the Blessed Ambrogio Sansedoni (1220-1286) formed a pilaster of the Pizzicaiuoli altarpiece which was commissioned by the Sienese guild of the Pizzicaiuoli, purveyors of candles and other dry goods, for their new chapel in the church of the hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena in 1447.
The Blessed Ambrogio Sansedoni wears a Dominican habit amd holds a book in his left hand, as a dove whispers in his ear.
