About the Item
Miniature depicting a Memento Mori painted in gouache on paper, grisaille technique. The frame, in ebonized fruitwood and finished with wax, black in color, is oval in shape with an oval inside bordered by a gold-plated brass decoration that fixes the glass. The miniature represents a skull from whose eye sockets and jaws snakes emerge and a lizard crawling on the top of the skull, where in the center there is also a frog. Two wings complete the miniature. A Latin inscription: Hodie mihi, cras tibi (Today to me, tomorrow to you), circumscribes the Memento Mori.
Italy, early 19th century.
