Dance of Death: Death Awed

Percy John Delf Smith

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a skeleton wearing a hooded robe standing on plowed ground. The skeleton faces to the right. Its right hand is bent at the elbow and its left arm hangs loosely by its side, with the hand curled inwards. The ground beneath it appears uneven and rocky. The horizon line is low, with a vast, flat expanse in the background. The artist's signature appears at the bottom. A title, "Dance of Death: Death Awed by Percy John Delf Smith", relates to the drawing.
