Saint Jerome

About this work

This etching on laid paper depicts a man in a landscape, possibly a saint, with a lion at his feet. The man is dressed in a long robe and has a halo above his head. He is shown in a three-quarter view, facing to the right. The lion is lying down, looking up at the man. In the background, there are trees and rocks, with a distant landscape visible through the trees. The overall atmosphere of the etching is one of serenity and contemplation. The use of etching as a technique adds a sense of depth and texture to the image, making it feel more dynamic and engaging.
