Skull

Hans Wechtlin I

National Gallery of Art

This print displays a large skull within an ornate architectural frame. Two cherubs are positioned symmetrically on top of the frame. The skull is centered and slightly protrudes from the opening. The structure surrounding the skull is detailed with decorative elements like floral designs and classical motifs. A small card with a design is located in the lower left corner, leaning against the frame, and there is a line of text at the bottom of the print. The color palette includes shades of beige, grey, black, and hints of pale blue.
