Jurgis Baltrusaitis suggested that Sebastien Leclerc's The Academy of Arts and Sciences was inspired by this painting, while another study of it suggests that a key symbol in it represents the Duke of Milan breaking off an alliance with France.

The latter study of this painting, by Mary Hervey, suggests that a medallion on a hat is mirrored in another place on this painting, which features a sundial with inconsistent times. Two figures in this painting hold a (*) dagger and a book inscribed with their respective ages. This painting shows a lute with a broken string and a globe in front of a green curtain. The two main figures of this painting, Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve, both wear rich fur-trimmed coats and rest their arms against a crowded table. For 10 points, name this painting by Hans Holbein the Younger which prominently features a giant anamorphic skull.
