"The Ambassadors" by Hans Holbein the Younger, reimagined.
It was in the 20th century when art historian Jurgis Baltrusaitis discovered that the shape in the foreground of the painting is what is often called a cuttlefish bone, but is in fact an anamorphosis of a human skull: this painting is a vanitas.
The painting depicts Jean de Dinteville (on the left), French ambassador to England. On the right is his friend Georges de Selve, bishop of Lavaur.
