Kind met drie schedels 1529 - 1590

"Kind met drie schedels" is an anonymous 16th-century Dutch print depicting three human skulls, likely a reminder of mortality. The image was likely created for a devotional context, though the artist is unknown. The detail of the skulls is striking, creating a stark and somber image that is typical of this era's art. The small size suggests it may have been part of a series of smaller prints. The print also features an hourglass, a symbol of the fleeting nature of time and a further reminder of death's inevitability.
