"Death with Girl in Her Lap" is a powerful charcoal drawing by the German Expressionist artist Kathe Kollwitz. The artwork portrays a woman in deep grief holding a young girl, likely dead, in her lap. Kollwitz's use of dark, gestural strokes and somber tones evokes a sense of despair and loss. The piece is characteristic of Kollwitz's oeuvre, which often explored themes of poverty, war, and social injustice. This artwork provides a glimpse into the artist's powerful and moving exploration of human suffering.
