## Commentary

Wolffort delights in the tangibility of texture: the long silken beard and dirty fingernails, the wrinkled forehead and ruddy cheeks. The white surplice and red cope indicate the sitter&#39;s membership of the Church, but without clear attributes he is difficult to identify. He is probably St Jerome from a series depicting the Church Fathers.
