Image description

This moralising drawing – finished to a high degree with lavish washes – shows a soldier seducing a young woman. Distracted by her sensuousness, he is unaware of the skeletal legs beneath her skirt and the figure of Death poised to strike with his arrow. A devil hovers above ready to claim his soul. The hourglass, lute and mirror serve to further underscore the brevity and vanity of mortal life.
