About this work

This 1878 print by Félix-Hilaire Buhot shows a moonlit night scene in which a skeleton climbs a long ladder toward a dark building with a lit window. A winding path and a faint crescent moon fill the open landscape, while the surrounding border holds sketched figures including an owl, a lantern bearer, and a hooded figure. The French caption at the bottom reads 'On allume des cierges pour les Morts'.
