Universally recognised as Bellini's earliest surviving work, painted when he was around 16,[2][3] it depicts Saint Jerome shown semi-naked seated on a rock in front of his cave in the Syrian Desert with a book in his left hand, referring to his life as a hermit and as the producer of the Vulgate Bible, and his faithful lion in front of him. The saint appears in the gesture of giving him a blessing, while the lion still has the famous thorn on his paw, which according to the legend was removed by Jerome.[4][5]
