This beautiful relief is in the lunette over the main portal of the Scuola Grande di San Marco. It shows the goldsmith Geoffredo da Brazzo, who was head of the scuola, praying to the patron saint alongside nine members of the brotherhood. The anonymous sculptor of this tympanum gave each of the brothers individual features and gestures. The only bare-headed figure is Geoffredo da Brazzo, who is leaning forward to brush his lips against the saint's left hand. His own expressive hands and profiled bald head convey an image of intense devotion.
