Title
The Judde Memorial, by British School (1560, c.)
Description
This image represents a marriage between the men and the woman that appear placing their hands on a skull. Although the corpse that appears underneath the skull is that of a man, the skull is deprived of any gender traits.
The skull represents death in this image, and because of the placement of the skull and the couple, it can be seen that the image represents one death for both genders.
