Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old Time is still a-flying 1920

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old Time is still a-flying" (1920) by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale depicts a winged figure, Death, carrying a child. The child is adorned with roses, a symbol of youth and beauty, while Death carries a scythe, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life. The image is a poignant reminder of mortality and the need to cherish every moment. This was a popular theme for the artist and is a good example of her Pre-Raphaelite style.
