The picture shows the lunetteIn architecture, a semicircular space, such as that over a door or window or in a vaulted roof, that may contain a window, painting or sculptural decoration. with two angels and a standing figure of the Christ Child. Albertini (1510) said that the Blessing Christ Child that crowns the altar was replaced by a copy by Baccio da Montelupo before 1500.
Attempts have been made to identify Desiderio's original figure with a Christ Child (attributed to Michele Marini in the Museum of Art, Cleveland), and the figure in situ has been given to Baccio da Montelupo. A more likely suggestion is that a faithful copy of the San Lorenzo Christ Child (Musée du Louvre, Paris) is Baccio's version, and that the Christ Child in San Lorenzo is Desiderio's work.
