Print showing religious allegory based on a poem by Beilby Porteus, Bishop of London. Death sits on his throne in a cave. His agents include war, fire, famine, pestilence, pleasure, intemperance, remorse, delirium tremens, suicide, and disease. Old Age, an elderly man, is supported by a woman, Faith. Charles Willson Peale, the artist's father, served as a model for Old Age.
