Vanitas is a 1520 unspecified by Unknown, a Mannerism work, depicting Skull, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This painting shows a skull in a small alcove. The skull is positioned at the bottom of the alcove, which is arched at the top. The alcove is painted in shades of brown and beige, with a darker shadow on the left side. The skull is also brown and appears to be made of bone. It is placed on a flat surface, with its jawbone slightly open. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the texture of the skull and the shadows on the wall. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
