Vrouw en de dood before 1924

"Vrouw en de dood" (Woman and Death), a lithograph created before 1924 by German artist Käthe Kollwitz, portrays a woman embracing a skeletal figure. The piece, rendered in expressive charcoal lines, captures a sense of grief and acceptance in the face of mortality. Kollwitz was known for her powerful and often somber depictions of the human condition, particularly those of the working class and their struggles. The work is a powerful testament to her artistic talent and emotional depth, reflecting her deep engagement with the human condition.
