"Dronken man en de Dood" (The Drunkard and Death) is a 1547 woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger. The print depicts a group of revelers, including a skeletal figure of Death, seated at a table drinking and reveling. Death is depicted in the center of the image, holding a glass and looking directly at the viewer. The print is a reminder of the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of life, which Holbein was famous for exploring in his works. The print was created during a time of significant social and political upheaval in Europe, and it may be interpreted as a reflection of the anxieties and fears of the time.
