"Half-length Study Of St. Jerome In Prayer" is an iconic work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera (1–1652). Completed in circa 1630, during the Baroque period, the painting is renowned for its realism and dramatic use of light and shadow, a trait characteristic of the Tenebrist movement.

The painting represents Saint Jerome, a church father known for translating the Bible into Latin. This artwork captures him in prayer, emphasizing themes of spirituality, introspection, and the human connection with divine. With the saint's half-length figure dominant in the painting, Ribera has used a close-up approach, creating both intimacy and intensity.

The detailing in the painting is remarkable. The aged saint's wrinkled skin, the texture of the lion's fur (a traditional attribute of St. Jerome), and the realism in the lighting and shading all exhibit Ribera's proficiency in depicting intricate detail and his mastery of chiaroscuro.

The painting belongs to Ribera's numerous depictions of St. Jerome, all of which reveal the artist's ability to communicate profound religious emotion and dedicate attention to naturalistic detail. Today, "Half-length Study of St. Jerome in Prayer" is housed in the Wellington Museum, London, contributing to the international canon of Baroque art and continuing to capture the attention of art enthusiasts and scholars.
