Throes of Death | Richard Müller | 1913

A kneeling figure twists beneath the grip of a skeleton, the two bodies locked in a precarious struggle. Müller’s precise modelling gives muscle, bone and taut tendons a sculptural clarity against the sombre background. The diagonals of the limbs and scattered arrows intensify the movement, while the bowed head conveys exhaustion. The encounter makes the threat of death physically immediate, expressed through anatomy and gesture rather than a narrative setting.
