Grabado con un retrato oval de una mujer a la derecha, un hombre recostado a la izquierda, figuras alegóricas aladas con guadañas y calaveras, y texto en latín abajo.

Bartholomeus Spranger con una alegoría sobre la muerte de su esposa, Christina Muller

Un grabado con una escena alegórica muy densa: figuras aladas con guadañas y relojes de arena flotan sobre un hombre barbado recostado, mientras un retrato oval enmarcado de una mujer con gorguera aparece a la derecha con una inscripción en latín. Putti, calaveras, una paleta y pinceles llenan los márgenes inferiores, con versos en latín impresos debajo.
