The story of the early Christian martyrs Julitta and her three-year-old son Quiricus is rarely depicted. This panel represents Julitta's martyrdom. The Courtauld Gallery owns two other small horizontal panels in this series, which once formed the base (predella) of a large altarpiece dedicated to Saint Quiricus. The panels represent earlier episodes in the story: the first depicts the mother and her young child accused of embracing Christianity while the second shows the young Quiricus scratching the face of the Roman governor before being thrown to the floor.
