This image shows three tall, narrow panels with bold black and red shapes. Each panel has a white scythe-like figure with a small white circle for the handle. The middle panel is bright red, while the others are black with red accents. To the right, there’s a block of text in small print about Death as a reaper, gardener, and player. The text is a quote from Abraham a Santa Clara, a 17th-century writer. The scythe shapes look like they’re striking or cutting, matching the words next to them. The design is simple but striking, with strong colors and shapes. If you like this, look up lithography to see how prints like this are made.
