This sculpture is one of a pair. The other depicts Saint Mark. Both come from the Carmen Calzado Convent in Zaragoza and have the stylistic features of other sculptures completed by Forment.

Saint Luke is similar to the horseman wearing a turban accompanying Christ on the way to Calvary in the main altarpiece at Huesca Cathedral.
