DescriptionImage of an elderly man sitting in an armchair between two tables. He is dreaming of his younger days, seen in a cloudy vision at left. He is seen as a young boy with his mother, as a schoolboy, and at his wedding. At right behind the man stands a skeleton, holding an hourglass over his head.On View
