"Theoxena og hendes familie dør til havs" (Theoxena and her family die at sea) is a woodcut print by Tobias Stimmer, a prominent Swiss artist of the 16th century. The print, dating back to 1574, depicts a dramatic scene of a ship sinking, with the figure of Theoxena and her family struggling in the waves. This powerful scene captures the perils of sea travel during this period, with a focus on the human cost of these journeys. The woodcut's stark lines and detailed figures are characteristic of Stimmer's style, contributing to the intensity of the imagery.
