'''Young Man with a Skull (Vanitas)''' is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Frans Hals, completed between 1626 and 1628. The work is a prime example of a vanitas, a genre of still-life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the 17th century, characterized by its symbolic representation of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, often contrasting symbols of wealth and power with those of mortality.

The painting depicts a young man holding a skull, a common vanitas motif symbolizing the inevitability of death. The subject's direct gaze and the inclusion of the skull invite the viewer to contemplate their own mortality and the fleeting nature of earthly achievements and pleasures. Hals is renowned for his loose painterly technique and ability to capture the vitality of his sitters, and this work is no exception. The young man's lively expression and the dynamic brushwork suggest a moment captured in time, emphasizing the transient nature of life.

Measuring 92.2 cm by 80.8 cm, the oil on canvas painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London. The artwork is significant for its artistic merit and as an embodiment of the vanitas theme, which serves as a memento mori—a reminder of the inevitability of death. Hals's mastery in portraiture and his contribution to the vanitas genre make "Young Man with a Skull (Vanitas)" an important work in the study of Northern European art and the cultural practices surrounding reflections on mortality in the 17th century.
