"Morir Soñando" (To Die Dreaming) is a woodcut print by the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada, created in 1942. The image depicts a woman sleeping in a chair, with a cherub flying above her, representing death. The composition, typical of Posada's work, uses bold lines and simple forms to convey a message about the inevitability of death, with a hint of irony and satire. This print is a striking example of Posada's artistic style, which was strongly influenced by the visual culture of Mexico.
