About this work

This etching shows a man in a pointed hat and tassels, holding a jug and pouring liquid into the mouth of a skeleton. The skeleton has a long, curved scythe and stands on one leg, with the other leg bent behind it. The man and skeleton are in profile, facing each other. The man's body is turned slightly away from the skeleton, while his head is turned back towards it. The skeleton's body is also turned away from the man, but its head is turned back towards him. This etching is an example of the Baroque movement.
