National Gallery of Art

The image features two large urn-like vases at the center, each holding an arrangement of flowers. The left vase is labeled "HOMO" and the right "BVLLA." A prominent skull is seen between these vases, encased in a decorative pedestal. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and black on a beige background. On the left side, a squirrel sits atop fruits, while small birds perch along a ribbon that connects with a bat and snake-like creature at the top. On the right side, an owl is perched atop clusters of fruit and vegetation. The lower section of the image features a Latin inscription framed within a decorative border.
