Death and the Miser

Oil on oak panel, 120 x 79 cm (each)
Groeninge Museum, Bruges

These panels were on the reverse side of the donor panels which belonged to a triptych from the former Dominican monastery in Bruges. They were detached from the donor panels and are exhibited separately. Entitled Death and the Miser, it is an allegory of vanity; the precise import of which is no longer known.
