About this work

Old men walk around the terrace of a dilapidated house built in the Tuscan order. The window of the house in the upper right is broken. On the terrace, several men sit around a table; one has a younger woman on his lap. Another wears spectacles. Behind them, a man with an amputated lower leg. The stairs of the terrace lead to a cemetery. In the margin, a four-line text in two columns in Latin. The print is part of an album.
