"Her Majesty Famine, Queen of Sicily" is a lithograph created by Maximilien Luce, a prominent member of the Neo-Impressionist movement. The artwork, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a skeletal figure of Famine, personified as a woman, sitting on a stone amidst a landscape littered with bones and skulls. The composition, marked by its stark realism and somber tone, serves as a powerful commentary on the devastating effects of famine, a stark reminder of the human cost of societal neglect.
