You see a man sitting at a desk, surrounded by books and papers. He's working in a quiet room with a few windows. The artist included many details, like the texture of the wood and the folds of the man's clothes, which suggests he was interested in showing everyday life. The man is St. Jerome, a scholar and priest. He's often depicted in art, but this version is special because it shows him in a cozy, peaceful space.
