Original title: In the midst of life we are in deathCreated by Bernhard Gutmann in 1905

The title refers to a funeral sentence of an Anglican burial service. Although the drawing looks like a skull from a distance, this is actually a naked woman bending down. The combination of barely dressed women and death is a popular, recurring theme in art.
