A vertically oriented print of black ink on pale cream paper depicts Saint Anthony and Saint Paul the Hermit seated at a table in a dense forest. Both men have light skin and long, wavy beards. Shaded with fine hash marks and draped in heavily folded robes, they gesture toward a bird descending with a loaf of bread. A pitcher and cross sit on the table among towering trees and distant mountains.
