About the Item
Unique and exquisite picture representing the biblical episode of Saint Jerome removing the thorn from the Lion's paw. The picture is made entirely of fabric, and is in relief.
The scene is set in an oasis in the desert. The sky and water are made of a beautiful shimmering blue/green velvet. The desret sand is made up a a multitude of minute knots of cotton thread. In the background are a pair of pyramids and palmtrees, and in the foreground a cluster of cacti.
The saint is kneeling before the lion and tenderly removing the thorn from his paw.
The picture is most likely an ecclesiastical work of art and is a real labour of love. It is beautifully done and has a special, moving quality.
It is in its original wood and plaster frame, and protected by a glass pane.
