The skeleton of Death pulls on the arm of a mother in a nursery. Death carries off one child as another flees. The Mother breastfeeds a baby on her lap. Die Mutter. Copperplate engraving drawn and etched by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki from a series of Dance of Death, originally published in the Lavenburg Calendar in 1792. Reprinted in Totentanz from the original copperplates by Walther Nithack-Stahn, Eigenbrodler Verlag, Berlin, 1926.
