The smaller scenes relate to life of the Baptist. Left medallion: the Baptism of Christ; right medallion: Salome receiving the Baptist's head. Lower scenes perhaps show Saint John preaching, the Calling of Saint Andrew, & Saint John, again, with two figures (one a donor?).

Christ is made the compositional centre of the scene & the blind man is shown twice: first having his eyes touched, & then at the moment his sight is miraculously restored. The two episodes are linked visually by the blind man's stick. This was one of the scenes on the back predella of Duccio's ' Maestà'.

Another panel from the ' Maestà' is in the collection: ' The Annunciation'. The figures & the architecture were probably painted by different artists from Duccio's workshop. The face of the blindman at the fountain was damaged in the past & is a modern restoration. ...
