ca. 1470/80, Artist: Michel Erhart , ODER:
The three figures, carved from a single piece of wood, represent the beauty of youth and its transience. The degeneration of the body in old age is drastically emphasized through the realism of the masterful polychromy. It is unclear whether the group originally belonged in a larger context, e.g. a clock case, or was already planned as a small antonymous sculpture.
