Saint Jerome

Paduan 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief showing a scene with a kneeling male figure in the foreground, partly draped with fabric around his waist. His head is depicted in an unusual form. In the background, there are hills and a faint depiction of a city or buildings atop them. Trees are on both sides, one with bare branches and another with more detail. The sculpture is made from a bronze or bronze-like material, giving it a metallic brown hue and dark patina. It has a glossy finish, showcasing the details and textures of the scene. The relief is rectangular framed with a small hole at the top for hanging.
