O Grave, Where is Thy Victory?, but Jan Toorop, 1892, Dutch drawing, chalk on paper. Death, the monster with figures on left, look on at man entwined with thorny branches, the symbol of mans sorrowful earthly existence. Two seraphim (angels) float above the open grave and free the dead man from these branches. The title of this drawing is taken from a letter by the Apostle Paul concerning the victory of Faith over Death.
