Abstract:
Interior scene of a man on his death-bed, surrounded by several figures, including a man holding the dying man's outstretched right arm as though feeling for his pulse, three other men looking on with concern, and three women seated at the foot of the bed, two of whom are weeping. A coin-filled chest and other displays of wealth figure prominently.
