St. Jerome in His Study

The image depicts a drawing of St. Jerome in his study by Filippino Lippi. The drawing is on aged, brown paper with darker spots and tears around the edges. The drawing is divided into two sections by a shelf. In the top section, a bearded man sits at a desk with one hand holding a quill pen and the other resting on the desk; he wears a long-sleeved robe. The bottom section shows the lower part of the man's body; he sits on a chair with his legs crossed and one foot resting on a skull. The man sits in a corner with a pillar to his left; an object sits on a shelf beside him. The background of both sections is minimal. The overall appearance of the drawing is simple yet detailed.
