Rich Man, from the Dance of Death — Hans Holbein the Younger|Wenceslaus Hollar

A man wearing a fur collared coat walks to the right toward another rich man. A beggar behind him has his hand on his back. A winged devil is perched on his shoulder. Death reclines beneath him and raises up an hour-glass.
