Death Stalking a Woman 

"Death Stalking a Woman" is a drawing by German artist Carl Gotthard Langhans, created sometime between 1732 and 1808, the year of his death. The drawing depicts a dramatic scene with a skeletal figure, personifying Death, wielding a scythe as it approaches a woman who has fallen to her knees, her arms outstretched in a plea for mercy. A small child lies at her feet, seemingly unconcerned with the impending doom. The drawing showcases Langhans' mastery of line and shadow, conveying the starkness and inevitability of death with chilling precision.
