Spanish School, circa 1600
Saint Jerome in the desert
Pen and brown ink and wash over black chalk; pricked for transfer
325 by 245 mm
In the late 16th century, the monastery complex of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, founded by King Philip II of Spain in 1563, was a centre of artistic production, and a number of Spanish artists worked there, producing designs for embroidery intended for the liturgical vestments of the priests - chasubles, copes, dalmatics, etc. - or as ornamental coverings for the altars. Stylistically, these drawings, meticulously pricked for transfer, are distinctive, and the present design, though possibly slightly later, would appear to follow in this tradition.
