Brown ink drawing of a haloed elderly saint with a staff beside a column, while muscular nude demons crowd toward an arched doorway at left.

Saint Antony Abbot pursued by demons, after Luca 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. At left, a crowd of muscular, nude demonic figures with grotesque faces presses forward past an arched doorway. The composition contrasts calm and menace.
