The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a scene with a man and woman. The woman, wearing a long dress, is standing with her right arm extended outward. An angel-like figure with wings is bending over a man lying on the ground, who appears to be deceased. The man on the ground has long hair and is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt. The background features a stone floor, ornate pillars, and a building with arches and windows. The pillars have decorative carvings, including a skull and crossbones on one. The artist's signature appears on the left side of the image. The overall mood is somber. "The Lovers Surprised by Death" is an artwork by Hans Burgkmair.
