This androgynous saint may be identified as male by comparison with Zenale’s Saint Victor at Grenoble. He is wearing armour and is probably Saint George. Shown at half-length, turned half to the right, his right hand is resting on a sword and in his left hand he holds a martyr’s palm. He has long brown hair and a raised gilt halo. The saint is set within a flattened arch against a tile-pattern background.

The artist clearly belongs to the circle of Gian Martino Spanzotti. The particular characteristics of dark colour and rather crude technique are to be found in a number of paintings by the Piedmontese artist, Gandolfino d’Asti, especially the Assumption polyptych signed and dated 1493 (Gallerie Sabauda, Turin) and the Family of the Virgin polyptych (right transept of the Duomo at Asti). In the latter there are variations in quality which indicate the employment of studio assistants, and it is the weaker panels which best match this work.
