De boetvaardige H. Hieronymus in de woestijn is a 1490 oil by Aelbrecht Bouts, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a man in a dark robe, kneeling on the ground with his hands outstretched. He is surrounded by a landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a body of water in the distance. A lion is visible to his right, and a red hat and rope are on the ground nearby. The man's facial expression is somber, and his posture suggests a sense of devotion or prayer. The landscape behind him is detailed, with various buildings and figures scattered throughout. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Aelbrecht Bouts, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of religious scenes.
Aelbrecht Bouts (c.1452 - March 1549) was a Flemish painter of the Early Netherlandish era.
