St. Jerome in the Desert, c. 1700, Circle of Paolo Pagani, Italian, 1661 - 1716, 16 x 11 9/16 in. ( x cm) (sight)22 3/4 x 18 1/8 in. ( x cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, Italy, 18th century, The composition of this St. Jerome by an unknown Italian artist derives ultimately from a famous engraving of 1602 by Agostino Carracci (1557-1602). Although the overall spirit of the work is Bolognese and reminiscent of Ludovico Carracci (1555-1619), the loose handling, especially in the saint's head, indicates a date of execution in the late 17th century or early 18th century
