The painting depicts St. Jerome, a revered figure in Christianity known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, immersed in deep contemplation within the confines of his oratory. The composition exudes an aura of solitude and introspection as St. Jerome is surrounded by symbolic elements that enhance the narrative.
