Dance of Death: The Old Man

Death dances his victim, an old man, to his death using the deceitful melody of a dulcimer to trick him into coming willingly. This scene is the opposite of another panel which depicts a young child being torn away from his mother.

he detailed drawing of the old man is interesting in its own right. Note the pointed shoes and the fur lined coat.
