A design for a sheath of a dagger drawn by Holbein. The figures are a king; queen; and warrior; all of whom most unwillingly accompany Death in the dance. The despair of the king; the dejection of the queen accompanied by her little dog; the terror of the soldier who hears the drum of Death; are depicted with equal veracity and spirit. Hand-coloured engraving by Chretien de Mechel from Hans Holbein's 鈥楾he Triumph of Death;' based on original drawings by Peter Paul Rubens; 1860.
