This is a drawing of a cemetery scene. The image includes several crosses suggesting gravestones. Figures in the foreground appear to be mourning amidst these crosses. One figure is depicted standing and covering their face, while another lies prone. The background consists of additional crosses, reinforcing the cemetery setting. Below the drawing, there's German text that appears to be a poem or literary excerpt titled "Hora Mortis," which translates to "Hour of Death." The text is arranged in stanzas and seems to reflect somber themes consistent with the imagery above.

Hora Mortis (Hour of Death) (headpiece, page 56) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (German, 1880 - 1938)
