Madonna and Child with Saints is a c.1505 oil on panel painting by Lorenzo Lotto, signed "L. Lotus F.[ecit]"[1]. It was first definitively recorded in 1727, when it was in France in the Orléans Collection - it is now in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh[2]. It is in the Holy Conversation style - on the left are a male saint (a prophet or St Jerome, holding a scroll) and Saint Peter, whilst to the left are a female saint (possibly Clare of Assisi) and Francis of Assisi[3].
