Dance Of Death - Artwork Series

This Artwork Series revives Hans Holbein's 1538 collected works "The Dance of Death" which illustrates the moment when Death appears to collect the souls of various people.

Below are the included artworks I've chosen and their descriptions.

The artworks are engraved on solid wood, are 29cm x 20cm and available separately or the full set at a discounted rate. I hope you love them as much as me!
