From the collection of Glasgow Museums Resource Centre
Vanitas is a 1610 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Drapery, held at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre.
This painting shows a woman reclining on a couch, with her head tilted back and her eyes closed. She is nude, with a white cloth draped over her lower body. To her left is a large, dark urn. The background of the painting is dark, with a landscape visible behind the woman. The overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's figure.
