Rare painting, Oil on canvas, Italy, 19th Century, Roman school of painting. Interesting and finely painted depiction of memento Mori portraying the death wearing In the uniform of a military leader. Richly decorated red uniform with a large number of orders. The left hand rests on the hilt of a gilded sword. In the upper right corner is the coat of arms of the nobility. Perhaps the plot is connected with the Masons and wants to tell us that despite the high position, riches and merit, everyone is mortal.
