Fijn gemodelleerd beeld van Sint Antonius in franciscaans habijt, met het Christuskind op de arm en een leliestengel in de hand als symbool van zuiverheid.

De voet is rijk gemodelleerd en versierd met verguld rolwerk en festoenen op witte ondergrond, in imitatie van klassieke draperie. Onderzijde gemerkt met het nummer “10,25” in bruine pigment.
