The left side of the painting focuses on a naked grim reaper - a skeleton with a scythe - sitting on a coffin - it is leading the procession like a rider. Behind him, a procession of people, all hooded, with their heads bowed and carrying lanterns, continues toward a cave with emiting light - possibly a gate to the other world.
