A 19th-century self-portrait: the artist stares out calmly while a grinning skeleton leans in right behind his shoulder, playing the violin. It's classical painting doing exactly what memes do now — showing someone trying to look composed while something horrifying is happening two inches from their ear.
Perfect for anything that's quietly, constantly stressing you out in the background: deadlines, bills, that one notification you haven't opened, or just the general passage of time.
