caption: The image shows a woman standing next to a skull with a bird perched on top of it. The woman is wearing a long, flowing dress and has a gentle expression on her face. The skull is surrounded by a few other objects, such as a vase, a book, and a pen. The bird is perched on the woman's shoulder, its wings spread wide and its beak open as if it is about to take flight. The background is a light blue sky with a few white clouds.
