"De Dood luidt de klok" (Death tolls the bell) is an 1851 woodcut by German artist Richard Julius Jungtow. The artwork depicts a hooded skeletal figure, personifying Death, standing in a room with a seated man. Death is pulling on a rope, possibly connected to a bell, while the seated man seems calm and contemplative. This piece is a testament to Jungtow's talent for detailed woodcut imagery, showcasing the stark reality of mortality in a contemplative setting.
