A figure of a woman, divided vertically, shown on the right as a skeleton holding an arrow, standing next to a obelisk inscribed with biblical and literary quotations, skull and bones at its base. Her left side shows her as a fashionably dressed woman, holding a fan; she stands in a park with a high border hedge. Next to her lie playing cards, a book on gaming, and vol.1 of Romances and novels. In the background stands an urn on a pedestal in a garden
