St Jerome in his Cell
Note that the work cited here is only a possible match with the seventeenth-century record. Either of the two surviving seventeenth-century copies of the Vienna painting made by the english entomologist and botanical draughtsman Alexander Marshal (c.1620-1682) - one in Yale Centre for British Art, B1977.7.4, the other in a UK private collection - may also match the record
