This small drawing by Dutch artist Moses ter Borch depicts Saint Jerome kneeling in prayer in the wilderness. The work, created before 1660, shows a detailed depiction of Saint Jerome's clothing, his long beard, and the landscape surrounding him. The figure is shown in a cave, with a skull, cross, and open book resting on a ledge behind him. Saint Jerome is a popular subject for artists, who often depict him as a scholar and penitent. This drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
