The painting shows six dancing skeletons, moving from right to left across the scroll. Each skeleton is surrounded by a pale tint. Some
of them stoop very low, bending forwards, and most have their arms raised. In the upper left-hand corner of the scroll is a lengthy inscription: a four-line verse with a date, as well as three red stamps.
