This altarpiece was originally in the St Thomas Monastery in Avila. On the right of the Madonna King Ferdinand V is kneeling at the feet of his patron St Thomas. Beside the King the Infant Don Juan, behind them the Chief Inquisitor can be seen. In the opposite group Queen Isabelle is adoring the Madonna with her patron saint, St Dominic.
The attribution of this painting is debated. Recently it is assumed that it was created by a follower of Gallego.
