This is a drawing of a skeletal figure with a scythe addressing a crowd. The drawing portrays a skeletal, ghostly figure resembling the Grim Reaper who holds a scythe and stands on a stage. To his left, a crowd of ghastly, disembodied heads seem to look up towards him. The backdrop behind the figure includes bold text. Shadows and cross-hatching are used to create depth and texture in the scene.
