The mythical symbol of the ferryman navigating amongst the cliffs forming the gate to the River Styx. A somewhat blurred moon hovers in the sky above him. The old man is headed on the voyage of the dead to the other side, from where only he may return. Jan Zrzavý often visited the motifs of water and death in his work. In this case, water is the transitional element between life and death. Jan Zrzavý was a member of the Sursum art group, the Mánes Union of Fine Artists and Umělecká Beseda.
