In this work is represented a typical iconography of the Spain of the XVII century, in which we see San Jerónimo listening to the trumpet of the Apocalypse, which - although it does not appear in this composition - is played by a young angel. The saint appears in penitence, half-naked and covered only by a red cloak, meditating in the desert with a human skull in his right hand and writing the Holy Scriptures. Below the table is a lion in repose, one of the main iconographic attributes of the saint, and the cardinal's capelet.
