Ivan Mestrovic donated this work to the Croatian Franciscan Fathers, who commissioned it as Saint Jerome was born on the territory of modern Croatia. It was originally located at the Franciscan Fathers' Abbey on 1359 Monroe Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., and was later moved to the front of the Croatian embassy on Embassy Row.
The inscription reads:
