This is a detailed altarpiece depicting several religious figures, painted in a Gothic style with gold leaf accents. The altarpiece is divided into multiple panels. In the top row, from left to right, are: a standing monk with a halo and staff; Saint John the Baptist holding a lamb and a book; a depiction of the Lamentation of Christ, with Christ's body being held by figures in dark robes; and a man in red robes with a red hat, holding an open book, with a lion at his feet. To the right of the man in red is another standing monk in dark robes. The middle and bottom rows feature several standing female figures, all with halos. The central figure is a woman in a red robe, holding a book and a palm frond. To her left is a woman in a dark robe, holding a palm frond and a tower. To her right is another woman in a dark robe, holding a palm frond and with exposed breasts, suggesting she is Saint Agatha. Flanking these central figures are smaller panels on the sides. On the left side, a figure in episcopal vestments holds a crozier, and below him, a nun holds a white flower. On the right side, a monk holds a book, and below him, another nun holds a white flower. The altarpiece is hung on a stone wall, suggesting it is displayed in a historical building or museum. The style of the painting, particularly the gold halos and the depiction of the figures, is characteristic of medieval religious art. This altarpiece is located in the Church of Santa Croce in Dolceacqua, Italy.
