Anciano confrontado por un esqueleto con reloj de arena

Un grabado en madera muestra a un esqueleto que sostiene un reloj de arena junto a un hombre mayor sentado, con una túnica ribeteada de piel y apoyado en un bastón. El anciano mira hacia abajo, pensativo, mientras el esqueleto se inclina hacia él desde la izquierda; al fondo aparecen un árbol sin hojas y un ave.
