Saint Jerome

Italienische Malerei 1460–1475, c. 1470/1475

The artwork depicts a full-length image of a bearded man standing in a doorway. He is positioned upright, gazing slightly to the side. His facial features include deep-set eyes, a long gray beard, and a stern expression. He wears a brown robe with a hood, tied at the waist with a cord. In his right hand, he holds a staff topped with a small crucifix, while his left hand grips another staff. A golden halo is painted behind his head. The background features an arched, ornate design with gold accents. The ground beneath him shows a rocky texture, and through the doorway, a glimpse of a landscape with water is visible.
