To be dated to circa 1679. A similar signed picture was offered at Sotheby's Amsterdam, 12 May 1992, lot 96, ill.
A certificate by Dr. M. Klinge dated 1997 is recorded.

As pointed out by M. Klinge, David Teniers, exhibition catalogue, 11 May-1 September 1991, p.134, the subject of the Temptation of Saint Anthony was popular from the end of the 15th century. In contrast to contemporary artists such as David Teniers II, Van Helmont's monsters appear to remain in the 16th Century tradition.
