The painting dimensions are thirty one centimetres by twenty seven centimetres. It was commissioned for the Andrea Baronci’s chapel. Today it is located at the Pinacoteca Civica Tosio Martinengo in Brescia. This painting was a dedication to St. Nicholas of Tolentino. This altarpiece was one severely damaged due to an earthquake.
