Description:
Four pilaster panels (?) painted in tempera on wood by Agnolo Gaddi and representing Saints Mary Magdalen, Benedict, a bearded Bernard with his eyes down and reading from an open book held by both hands, and Catherine. Bernard has 'tuft'. The positions of three of the saints - Benedict, Bernard, and Catherine - are almost identical to those in another work by Gaddi (see PA70).
