The title translates to 'death by the fireplace'. This is a vanitas piece. No matter how important you are or your wealth, time will eventually erode your name. Once painted your legacy is to sit pretty atop someone's fireplace. Using reference from Anthony Van Dyck's Portrait of Phillip Wharton 4th Baron Wharton.
