This statuette is possibly made by Severo da Ravenna, ca. 1600-1620 in Ravenna.

The Statue equals the Hieronymus from Brescia, but without the base and the lions.

Severo da Ravenna or Severo di Domenico Calzetta da Ravenna was an Italian sculptor, active ca 1496, who died ca. 1543. His father was probably a sculptor and he may have been related to the two painters of the same name working in the circle of Mantegna in Padua: Pietro Calzetta and Francesco Calzetta. Severo might have divided his time between Padua, Ferrara and Ravenna, where he was first recorded in 1496.
