Español: San Jerónimo en una cámara oscura

Un aguafuerte oscuro de un anciano sentado en una habitación en penumbra, inclinado sobre un libro abierto en una mesa junto a una escalera de caracol. Un haz de luz de una ventana enrejada a la derecha cruza la escena y deja la mayor parte de la sala en sombras marrón profundo.

Português: São Jerônimo em uma câmara escura

Uma gravura escura de um homem idoso sentado em um aposento na penumbra, debruçado sobre um livro aberto em uma mesa ao lado de uma escada em espiral. Um feixe de luz de uma janela gradeada à direita atravessa a cena e deixa a maior parte do recinto em sombras marrom-escuras.
