If not for the woven reed garment, it could easily be a St. Jerome. As for the Leighton, I believe it wound up in Puerto Rico because the museum's founder bought it at a time when anything Victorian was very unfashionable, and he probably got it quite cheap. So it goes.
Alas, this is all "old stuff" of precious little interest, if any, to the fashionably "cutting edge." Of course, what they're into is not art as such but whatever projects the right image and message. I suppose one should feel sorry for them, but they're not merely wrong but twisted.
Any Zubaran? ❤️
Yes!

Delightful afternoon with Velazquez, Goya, Murillo, Ribera...
And by the way, Franklin, the sculpted St. Paul looks not a little like you.
