The hagiography of St. Anthony Abbot proposes the theme of the demonic temptations he suffered. In this case, the devil affably accompanies the hermit, leaving unspoken the sequel that will see the saint stand firm on his precepts. The paper on ink drawing is framed in a moulded tile, with a landscape in the background that reinforces the hypothesis of the sheet's Veneto provenance, datable to between the late 16th and early 17th century. Good state of preservation.
