Formerly, this painting was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It was sold for the Acquisitions Fund in 2013.

Several of the saints depicted cannot be recognized with certainty due to a lack of attributes. Running clockwise from upper left they should be identified as Catherine of Siena (one of the patron saints of Siena), an anonymous female saint, Bartholomew, Lawrence, a Franciscan monk and an anonymous male saint.
