Follower of Taddeo di Bartolo

The work has been restored, probably in the past twenty-five years. There is a continuing instability in the black gown of the Saint. There are a few small losses to the paint in the Saint's robe, as can be seen in the catalogue reproduction. The embossed background and the gilding are all distressed. The ears, hair, and other details in the figure itself seem to have also been restored. In a modern carved, painted, and gilt wood frame.
