About this work

St. Anthony sits kneeling before a hut, at a round table with an open book and crucifix. Before him appears a woman with deer antlers and a snake tail on her head, a jug in her hand. To the left the pig. In the background a burning city. At the top in three frames three scenes from his life. At the bottom an inscription in Latin in a cartouche.
