A Renaissance vanitas cabinet
Various native woods partly stained in intarsia
51 x 70 x36 cm
Augsburg, circa 1570
This cabinet stands out through the quality of the intarsia decoration as well as through the unusual iconography: while the drawer façade shows urban ruins with all sorts of animals, the front door opens to reveal a vanitas scene with a naked child leaning on a skull with an hourglass to his feet.
