National Gallery of Art

This drawing features a scene with a skeleton, a man, and a woman, all dressed in historical clothing. The skeleton holds a musical instrument and interacts with the couple. In the background, there are two figures resembling angels or allegorical statues with symbols like an hourglass and a scythe. An inscription in Latin reads "Me & te sola mors separabit." Architectural elements such as columns and draped fabric frame the scene. A second skeleton is depicted at the bottom of the image. The drawing demonstrates detailed linework typical of engravings.
