The image shows a bishop dancing with a skeletal figure representing Death. The bishop holds a crozier and has a stern expression. In the background, there are other figures including a shepherd and a person with raised arms. The scene is set in a pastoral landscape with hills, trees, and a castle in the distance. A sun shines in the sky with two birds flying above. An hourglass is placed next to the bishop and Death.
