Allegory of Vanitas - German Baroque painter of the 17th century - In an architectural ruin, a musician sits lost in thought with her lute, while next to her in the center a putto balances on a ball, blowing soap bubbles; objects symbolizing wealth, war, power and knowledge are scattered on the floor, pointing to the futility of striving for these things and the uncertainty and transience of human life. Oil on canvas. 56 x 68.5 cm. - Circle of Johann Heinrich Schönfeld (Biberach an der Riß 1609-1684 Augsburg).
