A Skeleton Holding an Inscribed Plaque | 18th Century

The skeletal figure draped in a shroud—holds a plaque inscribed with Latin text that meditates on human mortality. Rendered in dramatic chiaroscuro, the skeleton emerges from a tomb like setting, emphasizing the somber theme. The phrase at the bottom, "Memento Mori memorare novissima," translates to “Remember death, consider your end,” reinforcing the message of mortality and the transience of earthly life. The artwork is attributed to an unknown artist but was engraved by Johann Christian Leopold.
