In a gilt wood frame.

Fray Alonso de Zamora led an active workshop at a monastery in the city of Burgos in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.  Burgos, situated along the River Arlazón in Northern Spain, had a thriving wool trade that grew dominant due to privileges received in the late 15th century by the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella.  This prosperity encouraged business, the arts, and the importing of goods from countries to the north, particularly Flanders.

Notable works by the artist include a set of eight paintings on canvas, depicting the Passion of Christ, in the monastery of San Salvador de Oña (painted circa 1500-1510), and an altarpiece formerly of the monastery of San Pedro de Tejada, now in the Museo de Burgos, depicting nine scenes from the life of Saint Peter, painted circa 1503-1506.
