Vanitas

Date: 1661

The painting depicts vanitas, a genre that recalls the transience of life. We see a skull, an extinguished candle, scattered leaves with text and musical notation, an inverted globe, books and a chest. All symbolize the brevity of life and the futility of earthly concerns. In the background is a portrait of a woman, which may suggest a human presence or the transience of beauty.
