La Mort et le Mourant (2021) by French painter Hervé Bonsard (b. 1963, France) is a vanitas painting on vertical canvas inspired by La Fontaine’s reflection on mortality. A seated figure confronts his final hour beside a crimson-draped table with an hourglass, as Death looms in chiaroscuro shadows.

Executed with virtuosic draftsmanship and deep black and umber glazes, this masterwork captures the solemn tension of fleeting time. A focal artwork for private study collections and executive galleries.
