This is a drawing of four skeletal figures in arched niches. The drawing presents a series of skeletal and partly muscular human figures set within four connected archways. Each niche features a figure holding different objects: in the first niche, a skeletal figure wields a scythe; the second niche displays a figure with a bow and arrow, partially muscular; the third niche shows a skeleton aiming a bow, while the fourth one depicts another partly muscular figure with a bow and quiver. The arches are adorned with columns, and the background is finely hatched to provide depth and contrast.
