Oude man wordt gehaald door de Dood als reiziger 1830

"Oude man wordt gehaald door de Dood als reiziger" is a lithograph by Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville, created in 1830. This darkly humorous illustration, part of the series "Voyage pour l'Eternité" depicts Death, personified as a skeletal figure, approaching an elderly man in a shop. The scene suggests that Death's arrival is inevitable, a message conveyed through the comical yet poignant imagery that was characteristic of Grandville's style. The work offers a satirical commentary on the inevitability of death and the fragility of human life.
