About this work

The painting depicts a woman reclining on a white cloth, with her left arm resting on a pillow and her right hand holding a flower. She is wearing a blue cloth wrapped around her waist. To her left, an older man with a long white beard and wings is seated, holding a staff in his right hand. The background features a cloudy sky and a skull. The woman's gaze is directed upwards, while the man looks at her with a serious expression. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and contemplative.
