Ferdinand Bol

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a man sitting in a cave. The man is old, with a long white beard and little hair on top of his head. He is shirtless, with a cloth draped around his waist. His legs are bare and his feet are not wearing shoes. He is sitting on a rocky outcropping with his left leg bent and his right leg straight. He is holding a tool with both hands, and looking down at it. He has a hat and another object hanging on the wall behind him. The background is a cave with a rounded top. There are plants growing on the left side and top of the cave. The image has a border around it. The image is titled "St. Jerome in Penitence" by Ferdinand Bol.
