"The Embrace of the Past". It depicts a woman with whitening hair dressed in an 18th century period dress, tenderly embracing a human skull. Her hands are very thin, even thin. The background shows a richly decorated interior with a framed portrait of a nobly dressed skeleton and a vase of fresh roses. The scene evokes themes of nostalgia and reflection on old age, mourning and mortality. And a form of immortality of love. The soft light accentuates the details of the costume and the textures, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and melancholic. The choice of the color palette, with its warm and golden tones, adds depth to the work. The interaction between the woman and the skull can be interpreted as a dialogue between the past and the present, or a meditation on the transience of life.

The woman of a certain age in rococo costume embraces a skull, symbolizing vanity and mortality. The contrast with the skeletal portrait of the hanging painting and the colorful roses adds to the reflection on the age of time.

The painting is in a Rococo style with Baroque influences. The work incorporates a theatrical staging with a strong presence of the dramatic and the mystical.

Clear use of chiaroscuro techniques, superimposing layers to create depth and detail, especially in the fabrics with the attention paid to detail in the lace and folds of the garment.

Contrasting color palette with predominantly cool tones. Use of shadow and light to create contrast.

The composition is orchestrated around the central figure with a balance between the elements of the setting, including symbolic objects such as the roses and the skull. And a skillful use of shadow and light to create depth and volume. Accentuates key elements and adds a mysterious atmosphere.

Delicate and detailed treatment of facial and body features. Gentle and contemplative expression, with particular attention to the silhouette and elegance. A certain nobility of rank of the woman depicted emerges from it. The portrait on the hanging painting if we look more closely seems to wear a golden crown, sign of a royal rank of the characters that death has separated. Is it a deceased husband, a deceased son? Nothing can determine precisely if it is not a loved one taken by death but who could not die as held by this woman.
