Description
A palace complex can be seen from the window of the bedroom where Death, in the guise of a crowned skinny figure with bulging eyes protruding from a skull, is sitting with his scythe to his side, a sword in one hand and a flag in the other, on the belly of a man lying in bed as ghostly faces float around in the background.
