This panel in the deposit of the Galleria Nazionale, which is of unknown provenance, is attributed to Francesco Busti.  The kneeling saint is surrounded by angels, one carrying a cross and one (a baby) carrying lilies.  This might be one of two (otherwise unknown) panels that Baldassarre Orsini attributed to this artist in his guide of 1784:

1. ✴a panel in Sant’ Angelo in Porta Eburnea, which he identified as portraying St John Nepomucen; or
   

a panel in Santa Teresa, which he described as “St John of the Cross with many angels, and with the Eternal Father and Jesus Christ above” (although these upper figures are missing).
