Tod und Liebespaar (das Mädchen fleht den Tod an) 

"Tod und Liebespaar (das Mädchen fleht den Tod an)" (Death and a Couple in Love (The Girl Pleads with Death)) is a drawing by German artist Victor Müller, now part of the Städel Museum's collection. Executed with loose, flowing lines, the work depicts a scene of intense emotion. The central figure, a young woman, is draped in flowing drapery and pleads with Death, who appears in a skeletal form, his cloak billowing behind him. This drawing, suggestive of the Romantic era's interest in the macabre, captures a moment of profound and melancholic drama.
