"Saint Jerome Beside a Pollard Willow" is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1648 during the artist's middle period, which is often characterized by a deepening of psychological insight and a masterful manipulation of light and shadow. The etching, which measures approximately 18.1 x 13.3 cm, is catalogued as Bartsch number 103, Hollstein number 232, and is part of a series of works depicting Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate.

The etching portrays Saint Jerome, the 4th-century Christian theologian and historian, in a contemplative state, seated beside a pollard willow, a tree known for its distinctive, pruned growth form. Rembrandt's depiction of Saint Jerome is consistent with the saint's iconography, often shown in a natural setting engaged in scholarly pursuit, reflecting the solitude and piety of his life. The work is noted for its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which creates a sense of depth and texture, a hallmark of Rembrandt's etchings.

This particular piece is significant in Rembrandt's oeuvre as it exemplifies his skill in the etching medium and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through landscape and portraiture. The etching is also notable for its exploration of the themes of wisdom, solitude, and the contemplative life, as well as for its contribution to the visual interpretation of religious figures during the Dutch Golden Age.
