I'm glad you can pick that out here. I admire his work and, in general, drawings and etchings of the late medieval and/or renaissance period from central and northern Europe. Especially those that feature death personified. But mainly it is the similarities in composition that said pictures share that I find attractive.

Well "The Dance of Death" was a series (is it "Tod Danz" in German?). Actually, you made the death figure seem rather tender with the dying or dead soldier. Holbein did not do that (from what I recall). His skeleton seemed to be collecting all social types (in fact one of the most interesting to me was he has the Pope collected in one of them).

"Totentanz", I believe, is "dance of death" in German. I am aware of a number of artists who dealt with the same thing, and also in serial form. Some of them signed their work, some of them did not. Yes, I find it fascinating how death was seen "collecting" from all walks of life.
