The composition of two withered roses and a skull symbolizes the transience of life and the inevitability of mortality. The faded roses represent the fleeting nature of beauty, while the skull serves as a reminder of death. It also conveys themes of love and loss, as the wilted roses signify faded affection. This composition embodies the vanitas tradition, reflecting on the vanity of earthly pursuits and the fragility of existence. With its gothic aesthetics, it evokes a sense of darkness and mystery.
