Pencil, 11,3 x 18 cm, laid paper (trimmed at edges).

2 drawings on 1 sheet with men fighting the allegorical figure of Death. While the first fighting couple is modelled after Holbein's original woodcut "The nobleman and Death" from his "Danse Macabre" series (1526), the second is copied after Wenzel Hollar's (1607-1677) reinterpretation of the print series, as published in 1646.
