Skeleton Bust anne of austria and floral motifsSkeletbuste, 1590 Egbert van Panderen Captivatingly eerie, this work features a skeleton bust, its mouth agape, facing left. The bust is set within an oval frame adorned with symbols of vanity. Above the frame, a Latin inscription is displayed in a cartouche. Below the frame, an excerpt from Ecclesiastes, also in Latin, is presented in another cartouche. The combination of these elements creates a hauntingly beautiful piece. Copyright: Public domain
