Menselijke schedel op een stok before 1936

"Menselijke schedel op een stok" is a pen and ink drawing by F. Ockerse depicting a human skull balanced on a thin branch that is partially hidden by grass. The skull is detailed with a light wash of blue watercolor in the eye sockets, which creates a sense of depth and adds a touch of melancholy to the image. The artwork's title and composition invite viewers to contemplate the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death, themes that were often explored in art during the early 20th century.
