This painting shows a man and a woman sitting at a table. The man is on the left, wearing a black shirt and hat. He has a beard and is holding a skull. The woman is on the right, wearing a white head covering and a black shirt. She has her hands clasped together. In the background, there are three children peeking over a wall. The man and woman are looking straight ahead, serious. The children in the background seem curious, peeking over the wall to see what's going on. You can learn more about Pieter Coecke van Aelst, the artist who created this painting.
