An Audience with Death

Date: in or before c. 1735
Medium: paper
Culture: Italy
Institution: Rijksmuseum

A group of young and old people has happened upon Death, as if by accident. Is Death reading to them from the book he holds? His audience seems slightly startled rather than shocked. Only the dog appears to grasp the gravity of the situation: its hackles are raised in fear.
