Study for the portrait of a Lady with a rose, around 1764. The drawing may be a study of drapery and pose for a portrait, possibly thatof Mary, Countess Howe. The elongated height and her long limbs may be the result of Gainsborough drawing from a costumed doll rather than a living model. PD 1855-7-14-70

'Allegory on the Equality of all Mankind in Death', 1599. The complex meaning of this image is derived from the Latin inscriptions. The most important is that at the top of the tent: "MORS CERTA RELIGONIBUS AEQVAT" (Death makes the sceptre and spade equal). Death is therefore the equaliser of people of all classes, from the peasant on the left to the Emperor on the right. The skeletons show no social distinction. On the rim of the tent stand an owl and a lamp, symbols of death and life respectively. The round scenes show the Fall of Man and the Crucifixion, representing the introduction and the conquering of death. The Last Judgement painted in the centre reminds the viewer of Divine Judgement. The boy blowing bubbles is a traditional emblem of transience dictated by the words inscribed over his head: "HOMO BULLA" (Man is [as] a soap bubble). The drawing and print of this theme of mortality and the passing of human existence are therefore designed to encourage the renunciation of all worldly pleasures and to prepare the viewer for death. De Gheyn sympathized with Protestant or Calvinist teachings as this drawing fully illustrates. PD, 1895-9-15-1031
