Description	A nude woman being attacked by the cloaked, skeletal figure of death while her child clings to her desperately. Simply rendered in a black and white print, the monumental figures are nicely formed, but not detailed. Very expressive work which displays the desperate times, especially for women and children in post-war Germany.
