Crivelli employs a luminous palette dominated by gold, deep reds and earthy browns, applied in fine tempera layers that enhance the intricate detailing of garments and textiles. The figures are rendered with delicate linear modeling, and the background features ornamental gold leaf that reinforces the sacred atmosphere.

The work entered the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in the twentieth century, having passed through several private hands since its creation in Venice. Its attribution to Crivelli rests on stylistic parallels with other documented works by the artist.

The inclusion of multiple saints—Saint Agatha, Saint Augustine, an unidentified female Franciscan, Saint Clare of Assisi, and four male Franciscans—reflects the devotional practices of Franciscan communities in late‑medieval Italy, where such groupings served both liturgical and didactic purposes.
