Lot Essay

Another similar composition is recorded on a Witt Library mount as being in the Earl of Scarborough's collection, at Armitage College, Woodhall, Lincolnshire. Both that and the present painting have a window on the left and a landscape seen through a casement beyond, though with some differing details. The figure of Saint Jerome is taken from Dürer's painting, in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon.
