This is a black and white woodcut image depicting a grim scene. A skeletal figure, representing Death, is reaching towards a baby, who is standing and appears to be reaching back. A woman is standing next to the baby, looking on with a distressed expression. Another woman, wearing a head covering, is stirring a pot over a fire. The fire is depicted with swirling smoke. The scene takes place inside a simple wooden structure, with a rough-hewn roof. On the floor, there's an hourglass and a pot, and scattered pieces of wood. A knife is held by the woman stirring the pot. The overall style is reminiscent of medieval woodcuts, with strong lines and a focus on symbolic representation.
