Saint Jerome (347–420) is identified by his Cardinal"s robes and the lion at his feet. He holds in his right hand the model of a church symbolizing his status as one of the four doctors of the Church, and in his left hand a book of his own writings. This exquisitely painted work is probably from the pilaster of a large, Gothic altarpiece.
