This relief, with the standing image of the Dominican St. Peter Martyr (d. 1252) and three kneeling donors, is one of three marble panels to survive from a tomb in the Milanese church of Sant'Eustorgio. This panel was originally on the right of a central panel depicting the Enthroned Virgin and Child between two angels (Castello Sforzesco, Milan). Another relief showing St. John the Baptist and four kneeling donors, in a composition that mirrors this panel (Sant'Eustorgio, Milan), would have originally appeared on the left side.
