Once considered to be Spanish, this is probably by an artist working in central Italy in the late sixteenth century. The elongated body of Christ is a motif disseminated in the work of various followers of Michelangelo; this motif also occurs in the later work of Pedro de Campana. St Gregory (c.540–604) is traditionally shown with the dove of the Holy Spirit; the bishop saint may be St Augustine (354–430) in the robes of his Order.
