Death to the noblewoman | |
---|---|
der todt, |
Death. |
The noblewoman | |
die Ed[e]lfraw, |
the Noblewoman. |
The image of the noble lady is reminiscent of the noblewoman in Basel. In Füssen she sees her own face in the mirror, while in Basel she sees Death's naked rear.
The lady seem to be more occupied with her own image in the mirror, than with her impending Death. Pride / vanity / superbia is not only one of the seven deadly sins, but the mother of all vices. There is a little devil sitting on her dress train.
