skull with shroud

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a very interesting painting. It's called "Skull with Shroud." nn Have you ever seen a real skull before? Maybe a cow skull on a farm? This painting shows a human skull. It's the part of our head that protects our brain. nn What do you see covering the skull? It's a shroud, like a cloth, and it's mostly white. Do you think the skull looks scary or sad? nn The painter, Wilhelm Leibl, wanted us to think about life and death when we look at this painting. He used dark colors and shadows to make it feel serious and thoughtful. nn Let's move on to another painting. Are you ready for an adventure?
