「聖ルチア伝の画家」の手になる《聖ヒエロニムス》は、この作品のほかにも2点知られている。本作品は、龍と闘う聖ゲオルギウスの場面（左上にその一部が見えている）が切断されていることが明らかなように、当初の画面の約3分の2に当たる。元来は、左手に十字架像、その下方に獅子（ヒエロ二ムスは足の爪にとげがささった獅子を助けたという）が描かれていたのであろう。ラテン教会の四大教父の一人である聖ヒエロ二ムスは、本作品では、左手に笞を持ち、右手の石で胸を叩きながら罪を悔い改める苦行者の姿で表わされる。背景には、左手にブリュージュの聖母聖堂の塔や聖ゲオルギウスを見守る王女、右手には二人の隠者が15世紀フランドル絵画特有の細密な筆致で描き出された風景の中に配されているが、とりわけアイリスを初めとする草花の描写が見事である。なお、この作品を「聖ルチア伝の画家」と「聖ウルスラ伝の画家」の共作とみる説もある。（出典: 国立西洋美術館名作選. 東京, 国立西洋美術館, 2006. cat. no. 8）

There are two other images of St. Jerome by the "Master of the Legend of St. Lucy." This small panel is probably two thirds of the original painting. St. George and the Dragon must have been represented in small scale in the upper left background in the original composition, but that side of the panel was later cut, leaving only the small figure of the princess. Originally the Crucifixion would have appeared on the left, with a lion beneath, alluding to St. Jerome's act of pulling a thorn from the lion's foot. St. Jerome was one of the four great patriarchs of the Latin church and this work shows St. Jerome in the act of penitence, striking his breast with a stone as he holds a flagel in his left hand. The spire of the cathedral of Bruges appears in the left background, along with the princess saved by St. George. The right background shows two hermits set in a landscape rendered in the minutely intricate brushwork characteristic of 15th-century Flemish painting. In particular, the handling of such flowers as the irises in the lower right is particularly striking. One theory suggests that this painting is a joint work by the Master of the Legend of St. Lucy and the Master of the Legends of St. Ursula.
