According Hampel: In the center of this nocturnal scene is the saint sitting on the ground in the open air in a bright red robe with a hood, reading an open book which he holds in his right hand. He is surrounded by several demons and strange, toad and lizard-like figures, which, however, do not disturb him when he reads deeply and concentrated. In the background a small church with tall windows and a small bell tower on the roof, which seems to be burning and from which white and red flames blaze. Lightning seems to be circling the tower. Depiction of a motif of the temptation of Antony popular in art history. Restored, vertical crack. (1230611) (2) (18)
