St. Jerome in His Study

An engraving of a haloed scholar writing at a desk in a sunlit, timber-ceilinged study, with a lion and a small dog resting on the stone floor in the foreground. A skull sits on the window bench, a cardinal's hat hangs on the wall, and glass flasks dangle from the ceiling beside the lattice window.
