Attended by his courtiers; the Duke is accosted in the street for charity by a beggar woman with her child. He disdainfully turns aside from her supplication; whilst Death; fantastically crowned with leaves; unexpectedly appears. Or is the Duke looking fearfully in the direction of Death's pointing finger. 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.
