It is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.It portrays the Virgin enthroned with the saints Mary Magdalene John the Baptist Francis Catherine of Alexandria and kneeling Cosmas and Damian (patrons of the House of Medici). It is in fact most likely that the latter are portraits of Medici members.
