Gerbrandt van den Eeckhout (b. Amsterdam 1621, d. s.p. 1674)
Saint Jerome in a rocky cave. “Lige i Indgangen til den simple Hytte, der læner sig op til Klippen, sidder den hellige Hieronymus og læser opmærksomt i en Bog, som han holder paa sit Skød. Foran hans Fødder ligger en Kuffert, og hans Stav støtter sig op til en Jordforhøjning, hvorpaa der staar en Kurk med Levnedsmidler og et simpelt Trækors. Til venstre uden for Hytten er Bedeklokken ophængt.” At the very entrance to the simple hut, leaning against the rock face, sits Saint Jerome, deeply absorbed in his reading, the book resting upon his lap. At his feet lies a trunk, and his staff leans against a small earthen rise, upon which stand a jug with provisions and a simple wooden cross. To the left, outside the hut, the prayer bell is suspended. Signed and dated G. V. Eeckhout fe. An. 1654. Oil on canvas. 55×43 cm.
Provenance revised 7/3.
