Description
In the artwork, a woman stands upright, gracefully draped in flowing robes, holding a small child on her shoulder. Beside her, a skeleton lies on the ground in a reclining pose, creating a stark contrast between the vitality of life and the inevitability of death. The sketch, rendered in reddish-brown tones, provides an allegorical representation likely exploring themes of mortality and the cycle of life.
