Three Slight Pencil Sketches of the Figure of Death for 'Love and Death' showing the same abstracted figure from the back of different sizes; the sketch at the top the largest but the least detailed; the sketch on the right of medium size but the most defined repeated at the bottom as a thumbnail sketch; though sketchy and abstracted all three sketches show a full-length standing draped male figure shown from the back, with proper right arm outstreched to the right and forwards and head leaning forward; composition similar to the figure of Death in the Tate version of 'Love and Death'; studies of the draped figure for the allergorical (symbolist) picture
