Description   

This panel, together with a related work depicting Madonna and Child and a third panel of Saint Andrew formed part of an altarpiece commissioned by the civic government of Siena. In the fifteenth century, Simone's panels were incorporated as the central elements of a larger altarpiece in the principal chapel of the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena's town hall. Like the other two panels from this polyptych, this one survives with its original frame intact.
