A beautiful etching depicting two walking skeletons with a church in the background. Janssen repeatedly brought "death" to the forefront thematically, as a counterpart in self-portraits, as a harbinger of doom in the series "Svanshall Upside Down," or as a skeleton in various positions (Forfeits), undoubtedly drawing inspiration from the Dance of Death depicted by his predecessors (Holbein, Merian).
