Time, Death & Judgement – Watts

This is a rendition by G. Watts showing three figures representing the passage of human life: Time, Death and Judgement. Time, as a young man, carries his scythe, symbolizing the brevity of passing life. Death is portrayed as a pale woman, carrying fallen rosebuds, symbolizing all the different types of people who die. Judgement is depicted as a woman holding out the scales of justice and a fiery sword.
