Saint Jerome in the Wilderness is an unfinished painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated c. 1480–1490.[n 1] A recent study linked to the Lady with an Ermine carried out by Leonardo da Vinci at the same time supports this hypothesis.[1] The composition of the painting has been drafted in monochrome onto the primed wooden panel. At an unknown date after Leonardo's death, the panel was cut into five pieces before eventually being restored into its original form (minus a very small triangle).
