Bearded hermit in a grey hooded robe and red cap, with a gold halo, holding a staff against a gold background. Narrow panel fragment.

Saint Antony Abbot

A bearded elderly man in a grey-brown hooded mantle and red cap stands against a gold-leaf ground, a golden halo above his head. He grips a knobbed staff in his right hand, and a book rests at the left edge of this narrow panel fragment.
