Painting of an bearded elderly man with a halo kneeling in a dark desert, reading an open book on a stone ledge, with a red cardinal's hat nearby.

St Jerome

An elderly bearded man with a halo kneels bare-chested in a dark, rocky desert, wrapped in red cloth, and rests his hands on an open book on a stone ledge. A red cardinal's hat, open books, and a faint cross at the right edge complete this scene of St Jerome in penitence, lit against deep shadow.

Español: San Jerónimo arrodillado en penitencia en el desierto

Un anciano barbudo con un halo se arrodilla semidesnudo en un desierto rocoso y oscuro, envuelto en tela roja, y apoya las manos sobre un libro abierto en un saliente de piedra. Un sombrero rojo de cardenal, libros abiertos y una cruz tenue al borde completan esta escena de san Jerónimo en penitencia.
