From the museum label: This painting was commissioned in 1436 by Fra' Sebastiano Benintendi, a descendant of the Blessed Villana delle Botti († 1361), who is shown in widow's weed beside St. Catherine of Alexandria. The hem of the Virgin's mantle bears the date 1441, which may refer to the year the painting was completed. Link to the full painting. Link to other paintings of the Lamentation.
