St Jerome

About this work

This painting shows a man in a red robe sitting at a desk, surrounded by various objects. He is holding a skull in his right hand and touching a book with his left. The desk is cluttered with papers, books, and other items, including a crucifix and a lion's head. The man's gaze is directed to the left, and his expression is contemplative. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet reflection and study.
