This etching, created by Martin Bernigeroth between 1710 and 1733, depicts a memorial to Paulus Winckler and Dorothea Sophia Winckler. The artwork features the deceased couple, framed in ovals, with cherubs flanking the central figure of Death, who carries a scythe and stands above a draped shroud. The inscription at the bottom details the individuals honored in the memorial. This evocative and intricate image is a testament to the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the early 18th century, offering a glimpse into the visual and emotional landscape of mourning during that period.
