This lot features 21 of the total of 42 figures that make up this Danse Macabre series, which was completed in around 1822 and was based on the Danse Macabre painted on the graveyard wall of the Dominican Abbey in Basel, the motifs of which were first disseminated in printed form in 1623 by Matthäus Merian the Elder.
