The image of the skull resting on a pile of books invokes the imagery of the Latin motto “Memento Mori”, a warning about the vanity of all things earthly and the inevitability of death. This image is reminiscent of several Baroque paintings of the 17th century, with which Lachèvre would have been familiar. Ownership
