The seven Old Testament prophets in the tympanum are (left to right): Daniel, Moses, Isaiah, David, Abraham, Jacob and Jeremiah.
NG 566 has identical underdrawing to that found in NG 1139. It may have been made for the private devotion of Cardinal Niccolò da Prato (died 1321), a high-ranking Dominican who was Cardinal of Ostia and would therefore have had reason to venerate Saint Aurea of Ostia, otherwise rarely shown. This type of small-scale altarpiece with closing shutters was intended to be portable.
The dimensions of NG 566 are identical to those of a triptych of The Crucifixion with Saints Nicholas and Gregory on the shutters (Boston, Museum of Fine Arts) which also seems to be painted by Duccio\'s workshop. The exterior of the shutters in both triptychs have the same geometric patterns.
Said to be from a private collection in Pisa; bought from the Lombardi-Baldi collection, Florence, 1857.
