The image shows an ornate frame with a Latin text inside, two figures on either side in profile holding masks away from their faces, a detailed skeleton above the frame holding masks, spheres and swirling shapes above the skeleton, and decorative elements including skeletal hands holding the parchment and a small winged cherubic face below. The scene is intricately designed in an engraving style with a classical and macabre tone.
