The Peddler and Death (from Holbein's Danse Macabre)

In a woodcut print, a weary peddler with a heavy wicker frame on his back walks toward the right, his right arm raised as he gestures. A skeletal figure of Death stands behind him, grasping the frame and helping to carry the load, while also holding a long, narrow musical instrument, a tromba marina. A small, shaggy dog walks alongside the peddler, and a simple landscape with a distant building is visible in the background.

This image is a plate from Hans Holbein the Younger's 'Les Simulachres et historiees faces de la mort', a seminal collection of woodcuts that popularized the 'Danse Macabre' (Dance of Death) motif, emphasizing the inevitability of death regardless of social station.
