A young couple stands hand in hand before an open tomb, from which Death rises up in the guise of a skeleton draped in his tattered shroud and holding an hourglass and a scythe. Rembrandt depicts the elegantly clad couple looking straight into the eyes of the Grim Reaper. They are thus directly confronted by the transience of life.
