1510 (ca.), Jan Provoost (attributed), Virgin and Child Enthroned, with Saints Jerome and John the Baptist and a Carthusian Monk -- Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam)

From the museum label: A Carthusian monk kneels in adoration before the enthroned Virgin and Child. He is presented to them by John the Baptist, while the Christ Child hands him a rosary. Standing between them is Saint Jerome, who, like John, lived as a hermit in the wilderness. Both saints thus emphasize the Carthusians' reclusive way of life.
