"at bottom right, an elderly Jerome clad in rags reading a book at the entrance of a cave. at his feet is a stone floor that descends in a square hole into a pool or baptistery. above the pool the rocky terrain opens into a perspective view of cities and seas in the distance. above the pool are two rabbits facing."

St. Jerome Reading by Giovanni Bellini (1505)
