Pen and Ink, and Pencil, Compositional Sketch for 'Love and Death' showing a full-length standing robed figure of Death seen from the back with body turned to the right and head leaning forward with an indication of the scythe or wing across proper left shoulder, ascending the stairs towards the small Cupid figure of Love; composition similar to the finished Tate version of 'Love and Death' (that does not feature the scythe or wing); studies of the draped figure, and nude infant for the allergorical (symbolist) picture.
