Saint Jerome (¿?)
First half of the XVII century.Not on display
On Brun´s (?) mount, with his inscription below the drawing: D. ZAMPIERI. The attribution to Domenichino (1581-1641) is unsustainable. However, there are strong similarities to studies in red chalk by Baglione´s Saints Peter and Paul in S. Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome. The saints is traditionally identifies ad St. Jerome, though he may be St. John the Baptist since a long red cross rests against his right shoulder. On the other hand, the figure is draped in a cloak rather than an animal skin.
