La Mort et les Passions fondant sur la terre

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white drawing of a skeleton playing a trumpet. The skeleton appears to be emerging from a dark background, surrounded by abstract lines suggesting motion. It has one leg bent at the knee and the other extended downward. Its right arm is bent at the elbow with the trumpet to its lips, and its left arm is raised. There are dark, abstract human-like figures around. The image is on beige-colored paper with a handwritten note at the bottom.
