The Temptation of St. Anthony

Julien Léopold Boilly

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Temptation of St. Anthony by Julien Léopold Boilly: A drawing of a nude woman with fair skin and light brown hair sitting on top of a man with his hands raised; she embraces him with her right arm as her left hand grasps his hair. The man wears dark clothing with long sleeves and sits on a cloth or animal pelt. He has long dark hair and a beard and appears to have an open mouth. A blue-grey background dominates the scene. A stick or post with an X on top appears on the right side.
