Saint Jerome was on the inside face of a shutter, probably from a triptych. It was on the reverse of 'An Angel' and would have been to the right of the missing central image of the Virgin Mary, when the triptych was open. The opposite wing, also in the collection, shows 'Saint Joseph' with 'An Angel' on the reverse.
