| Description |  |
The saints standing on either side of the Madonna and Child are probably the early thirteenth-century Francis of Assisi and his follower Clare, who founded an order of Franciscan nuns. Saint Clare and the Virgin Mary both reach out to touch a nun who kneels before them. The woman wearing a veil, but carrying a crown around her arm, has been identified as Queen Sancia of Naples.
