This is one of a series of pieces which belonged to an altarpiece of the convent of Saint Augustine which was in Zaragoza. Commissioned in 1551 to Juan de Liceire, its model was previously drawn by the great Damian Forment. This master had taught Liceire to sculpt alabaster, a common material of Aragonese sculpture of the Renaissance.
