Peasant The Last Judgment

The child

M other and sister looks in desperation, while Death carries the youngest sibling away. Death leaves the hourglass - maybe because the child is the last in the dance.

Variations: Birckmann lets Death take the hourglass along and proudly raise it as a trophy. The same is done by Valvasor, Hollar and Deuchar.
