St. Jerome in his Study

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts St. Jerome in his study. An old man with a balding head, white hair and a long white beard sits bent over a book on a lectern. He wears a monastic robe and a halo. The man sits at a table with one chair pushed back. The room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a hanging lamp. There are two windows with leaded glass panes, a wooden chest, a skull and two bags on a shelf. The floor has stone steps leading up to it, on which lie a lion and a wolf. The room appears to have a fireplace or hearth with decorations on the mantle. The image is rendered in black and white.
