About this work

In a rocky landscape with trees, Saint Paul and Saint Anthony sit under a thatched roof before a cave. Between them lies an open book and a skull on a large stone. On Anthony's lap lies a staff, and next to him sleeps a pig. In the distance to the right, a raven flies with bread in its beak towards the two saints.
