Skulls of kings and queens, by de Palma (1653)

Illustration of 26 skulls and shinbones of kings and queens of Hapsburg. These skulls appear with crowns and the names of the individuals the skulls represent appear underneath each skull. It is visible that the skulls represent both males and females, however these do not differ significantly across individuals regardless of their gender.
