500. The Temptation of St. Anthony. The Saint is repre-
sented in the interior of a large cave, kneeling at his devotions,
from which he appears to be diverted by a bag with horns, who is
directing his attention to a pretty female, with a glass of liquor
in her hands. A crucifix, a scull, an hour-glass, and a book
are on the table; and several other books lie on the ground.
On the opposite side are two elfs singing, and a third is riding
a grotesque animal; many other imaginary creatures are
flitting about the place or crawling on the ssoor. Painted with
admirable spirit and freedom of hand.

501. The Temptation of St. Anthony. The composition of
this picture closely resembles that of the preceding: the Saint
kneels before a rustic table, on which are a book, a scull, and
an hour-glass ; a hag is also pointing his attention to a female,
attired in black silk, and holding a glass of wine in her hand.
A group of five elfs are close to the front, apparently singing;
one of them holds up a broom ; and a number of grotesque
objects are distributed about the place; a pig-sty is on the
left, and an owl is perched near it.
