Encima ángeles con la mitra, el báculo y la cruz, atributos episcopales del Santo.En relación muy directa, aunque con leves variantes, con el lienzo hoy en el Museo de Córdoba, y procedente seguramente del convento de San Francisco de la misma ciudad, que fue muy copiado e
El Santo, en pie, recostado en un grueso tronco, mira al espectador y sostiene con la mano derecha un grueso libro y con la izquierda la espada. En la misma hoja encontramos un estudio de rostro de anciano, seguramente para el propio Santo, dos cabecitas de ángeles niños y un pie.P.
