About this work

Allegorical representation with a young woman and an old man in a garden. The woman is winged and wears a crown, in her hand an open sarcophagus, with her other hand she points to the man. He wears a laurel wreath and plucks leaves from the flower in his hand. In the background, a phoenix burning itself. A putto flies in the background and points to the banner above in the sky.
