St. Anthony is kneeling before an altar stone on which is a crucifix, an hourglass, a skull and a stack of books. Devil and monster-like creatures are pulling him by his robe and besieging him in various ways. In front of him the pig. Behind him a beautifully dressed lady offering him a glass of wine. An old woman with devil's wings tries to entice him to look back at her. Above in the cave a flying little devil playing a cakewalk, The Temptation of St. Anthony, print maker: Guillaume Duvivier, (mentioned on object), Antoine van den Heuvel, (mentioned on object), Southern Netherlands, c. 1660
