Español: San Jerónimo junto a un sauce desmochado

Un sauce desmochado, retorcido y de gran tamaño domina este aguafuerte, con un pájaro posado sobre su tronco, mientras un león agazapado descansa en la base, a la izquierda. A la derecha, una pequeña figura arrodillada se sienta junto a la orilla herbosa, bajo ramas extendidas y un cielo trazado con rayados.
