Double Pencil Study of the Figure of Death for 'Love and Death'-both sketchy drawings showing the same composition with the draped figure from the back, indication of proper right arm outstreched to the right and forwards and, just in the sketch on the left, also indication of the draped head leaning forward; the heavily draped study on the right drawn slightly higher than the elongated study on the left; both poses similar to the finished oil painting (Tate version); studies of the draped figure for the allergorical (symbolist) picture
