"Gelijkheid van alle standen in het graf," meaning "Equality of all ranks in the grave," is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki created in 1770. The artwork depicts a scene in a cemetery where figures from various social classes are present, all unified in their mortality. The central figure is Death holding a scythe, reminding everyone of the inevitable end. The cemetery setting and Death as a central figure emphasize the theme of equality in the face of death. This engraving is held at the Rijksmuseum.
