The Young Maiden and Death 1854

"The Young Maiden and Death" is a lithograph created by the French artist Camille Corot in 1854. The artwork depicts a young woman standing near a tree with Death kneeling at her feet, a stark reminder of life's mortality. Corot's signature can be seen in the lower right corner of the artwork, with the drawing being framed by a thick, black border. The subject matter and Corot's expressive brushstrokes evoke a sense of melancholy and contemplation. The lithograph is currently held in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
