Specialist note

We are grateful to Antoni José Pitarch for identifying the present painting as a work from Palencia, dating to the third quarter of the 15th century. Working from a photograph, Professor Pitarch cited stylistic similarities to the Altarpiece of Saint John the Baptist from the church of San Juan Bautista in Paredes de Nava.
