The story of the early Christian martyrs Julitta and her three-year-old son Quiricus is rarely depicted. In this panel, the young Quiricus scratches the face of the Roman governor and is thrown to the floor. The Courtauld Gallery owns two other small horizontal panels in this series, which once formed the base (predella) of a large altarpiece dedicated to Saint Quiricus. The first panel depicts the mother and her young child accused of embracing Christianity. The second panel represents Julitta’s martyrdom.
