A wonderfully macabre pair of C19th Memento Mori oils

This small but perfectly formed pair of Memento Mori oils date to the C19th and are a reminder to us that we are here for a good time, not a long time. Memento Mori pieces were made for turning our attention towards the immortality of the soul and the afterlife, and away from earthly pursuits. These oils are wonderfully rendered in a naive style by an unknown hand on charming, rough-cut wooden boards.

Dimensions: 20cm x 15cm

Condition: Where there are specific points to note we will detail these as far as possible, but please be aware that all our items have wear commensurate with age and as seen in the photographs.
