## Commentary

Niccolò di Ser Sozzo likely trained in Pietro Lorenzetti&#39;s workshop. This composition, like many by the artist, bears the influence of this master. Characteristic of Niccolo&#39;s style is his bold treatment of drapery and the distinctive physiognomy of his figures with their deep-set features. This small panel probably was intended for private devotion. It was designed to stand alone.
