St Jerome

An elderly bald, bearded man in a red cloak sits in a rocky cave, turning his head upward while resting his hand on his chin. Beside him on a ledge lie an open book, an hourglass, a skull and a rolled scroll, while a dark wooded landscape opens beyond the cave mouth.

Español: San Jerónimo en una cueva rocosa, leyendo

Un anciano calvo y barbado, envuelto en una capa roja, se sienta en una cueva rocosa, con la cabeza alzada y la mano apoyada en el mentón. Sobre una repisa de piedra hay un libro abierto, un reloj de arena, una calavera y un pergamino enrollado, y tras la entrada de la cueva se abre un paisaje boscoso oscuro.

Sobre uma saliência de pedra há um livro aberto, uma ampulheta, uma caveira e um pergaminho enrolado, e além da entrada da caverna abre-se uma paisagem arborizada e escura.
