A macabre still life: a skeleton with wispy white hair, tattered attire, and a rope cinched around its waist sits precariously on a massive stone, violin in hand. The subject's round glasses glint in the dim light as it coaxes eerie melodies. Shadows dance across the stone, plunging the scene into darkness, punctuated only by the faint glow of candles or lanterns. In the Tenebrism style, extreme contrasts of light and dark converge to create an atmosphere of foreboding and unease. Alors on danse.
