Context:
The book and skull suggest that the figure is Saint Jerome, one of the four fathers of the Latin (western) church, although he is usually shown wearing red robes, with a lion nearby. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is often shown weeping, but seldom with a skull beside him. Our uncertainty, however, does not diminish the emotional strength of the figure: a wise old man contemplating the shortness of life and the folly of mankind.
