Niccolò di Buonaccorso was one of the most accomplished masters active in Siena in the last third of the fourteenth century. The present panel, showing the Virgin and Child with a Bishop Saint, St John the Baptist, and four angels, is probably the central section of portable triptych whose wings are now missing.
