About this work

This engraving by Jan van de Velde shows a seated woman in a ruffed collar at a table, holding a wine glass, while a skeleton personifying Death stands behind her holding an hourglass. A second, younger woman sits at the table in the background, and a landscape with trees and a tower is visible through the window. A Dutch inscription below the image reads 'In weelden sijn wy dickwils geseten de Doot veel naerder dan wy weeten.'
