Flemish painting from the first half of the 17th century. Oil work on canvas depicting a religious subject of great charm, Saint Jerome in his study. He lived between the fourth and fifth centuries AD and is recognized as a father and doctor of the Church. A great scholar, he dedicated himself to translating the Bible from Greek to Latin and in fact he is commonly represented with an open book, immersed in study among objects that testify to his erudition. Note the quality with which the still life on the table was created, with coins, glasses and other commonly used objects together with a skull, a typical memento mori for this type of composition. 20th century frame in carved and ebonized wood, with some signs of aging. Work already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and color recovery in small spots. Overall in excellent preserved condition. Light painting H 112 x W 121 cm.
