Ruïnelandschap met de boetvaardige Hieronymus, 1552 Hieronymus Cock
In a landscape scattered with remnants of Roman ruins, Saint Jerome humbly kneels on the ground, chastising himself with a stone. His cardinal's robe and hat are neatly placed on a stone wall nearby. He leans on a skull for support. His symbolic lion sits atop a low staircase, grooming itself by licking its paws.
