The death of Wilhelm von Schwerin 

Helene Schjerfbeck's "The death of Wilhelm von Schwerin" is a poignant depiction of a soldier’s death. The painting’s subject is a fallen soldier lying on a bed, with another soldier standing nearby. The scene is rendered in a somber palette of muted blues and browns, with the light reflecting off the white bed sheet. The painting’s minimalist style and focus on the soldier’s body reflects the stark reality of death during wartime. Schjerfbeck's work is known for its sensitivity and attention to detail, capturing the quiet and tragic nature of the scene.
