St Jerome kneeling in prayer, looking down 1635

This etching, created in 1635 by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicts Saint Jerome kneeling in prayer. Known for his detailed and dramatic depictions of religious figures, Rembrandt masterfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and emotion. The intricate details of Jerome's wrinkled robe, flowing beard, and contemplative expression draw the viewer into his moment of devotion. The etching is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and stands as a testament to Rembrandt's masterful command of the medium.
