As well as the Madonna and Child in the centre and the unknown donors at bottom right, it also shows Catherine of Alexandria and John the Baptist at left and Saint Jerome to the right. The work is recorded with its attribution to Palma in the collection of Domenico Barbaja, a music and theatre impresario active in Naples between 1809 and 1840. [2] In 1841 Naples' royal family bought the work and seventeen others from the sale of Barbaja's collection, upon which it entered its present home. [2]

Donor portraits may also be included, generally kneeling, often their patron saint is presenting them to the Virgin, and angels are frequently in attendance.
