DescriptionA group of 5 figures (4 men and 1 women) represent the five senses: at the top a man looks through a monocle, the man on the left listens to a pocket watch, the woman to the right smells from a vial, the man in the center tastes something from a bowl and the man at the bottom touches the hand of the woman.Status
