Triumph of Death, Right Half, This is the right half of the scene which "is located in the interior of an elegant enclosed garden where death riding a skeleton–like horse comes ready to cast deadly arrows on pleasure-loving nobles and elegant ladies that, being unaware, meet around the spring of youth. At the edges the poor and the outcasts are present, while popes, emperors, kings, monks and men of law lie on the ground already beaten by arrows." (From the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia online archive.) The spring of youth is seen in this half of the painting. On the left half, in the record SC.MSS.088.SPAN.0038 there appears to be a person in a cloak, presumably working alongside death and located behind him, who is holding back two malicious dogs on a leash.
