The image shows three figures indoors. In the center, a woman is being embraced from behind by a skeleton. She has delicate facial features, braided hair, and wears a gown. Another woman stands beside her gesturing while wearing a bonnet and a detailed dress. The skeleton is draped in a cloak and holds an hourglass. They are in front of a wood-paneled backdrop with a window to the right. A piece of furniture with papers and an hourglass is in the foreground.
