The English Wikipedia article on Antonello da Messina's panel painting Saint Jerome in His Study, oil on limewood, dated to about 1474 to 1475, National Gallery, London, accession NG1418. The article gives the dimensions as 45.7 by 36.2 centimetres, records that the painting belonged to Antonio Pasqualino by 1529 and later to Thomas Baring, first Earl of Northbrook, entering the National Gallery in 1894, and describes Jerome seated barefoot on a cathedra absorbed in reading, within a Gothic architectural study accompanied by a lion, a peacock and a partridge, lit by chiaroscuro effects from the central archway and side windows.
