A red hat held on by a string hangs down his back; you can see its tassel through his beard. Late in his life Saint Jerome became secretary to the Pope, so is often shown with the red robes and hat of a cardinal.
This painting comes from the upper level of a large polyptych (multi-panelled altarpiece) painted by Giorgio Schiavone, probably for the church of San Niccolò in Padua; other panels from it are also in our collection. We are not sure exactly what order the panels were in, but Jerome must have been on the left, looking inwards.
