Saint Jerome

Francesco di Giorgio Martini

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bearded man in a kneeling position, resting against a tree near architectural ruins. He has a halo and is looking downwards. At his feet is a small animal, a bottle, and a hanging hat. The background shows a rocky landscape with distant hills and flying birds. The sculpture is made of a dark material, possibly metal, with subtle highlights. It is presented as a relief panel with a framing border around it.
