Saint Antony Abbot: he is followed in the street by demonic persecutors. Colour etching by A. Pond, 1736, after L. Cambiaso.

A brown ink and wash drawing shows a bald, bearded elderly saint with a halo, wrapped in a long cloak and leaning on a staff beside a classical column at right.

Un dibujo en tinta y aguada marrón muestra a un santo anciano, calvo y barbado, con halo, envuelto en una capa larga y apoyado en un bastón junto a una columna clásica a la derecha. A la izquierda, una multitud de figuras demoníacas musculosas y desnudas, de rostros grotescos, avanza hacia un arco de entrada. La composición contrasta calma y amenaza.
