The watercolor painting, at first glance, is an image of a skull being held by a young girl. The symbolism of this painting encourages us to think about the nature of human life. The dark and subdued tones used in the composition are reminiscent of how moments in our lives inevitably disappear, like a shadow that rushes forward.
The skull, despite its dark association, is painted in a painterly manner that encourages us to see beauty and value in every moment of existence. It symbolizes our own mortal existence, which should be appreciated and lived to the fullest.
The girl holding the skull can be interpreted as an allegory of our own life and its temporary nature. This work of art reminds us that death and life are inextricably linked and that every action we take, even in the presence of death, has its own value and significance.
