The Temptation of St. Anthony

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a man and woman. The man sits on left, with feet bare, on rocky ground. He has white hair and long beard; a round, shaved area on top of head. He wears long sleeves and a hood; right hand to face, left on book. The woman stands on right. She wears a long skirt and puffy sleeves; a helmet-like hat with two horns on either side; her right arm bent at the elbow. The pair face each other. In the background, a tree trunk to right of man; a church steeple and castle on a hill to left; a tower and distant town beyond. The foreground contains various plants and a short tree stump with '1509' and 'L' on the side.
