The general sophistication of the Annunciation group at San Gimignano suggests that Jacopo was no novice at working in wood, which has led scholars to attribute a number of other wood sculptures to him. The most widely accepted attributions are: a Virgin with Saints from San Martino (1423-25; Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Siena); a Virgin and Child (c. 1430; Musée du Louvre, Paris) and a St John the Baptist (c. 1430; San Giovanni, Siena).
The picture shows the Virgin and Child with Sts John the Evangelist, John the Baptist, Bartholomew, and Anthony Abate.
