Dance of Death: The Judge is a 1526 by Hans Holbein the Younger, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a judge sitting on a bench, wearing a long robe and a hat. He's looking at a man standing in front of him, who is dressed in simpler clothes. The judge's face is serious, and the man looks worried. The judge is holding a small object in his hand, and there's a book on the bench next to him. The background is dark, but you can see some lines that might be a wall or a building. The whole scene feels a bit spooky. The artist of this painting is Hans Holbein the Younger.
