Disease and Death is a 1912 unspecified by Joseph Alanen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts two figures in a dark, eerie landscape. The figure on the left is dressed in a white hooded cloak, while the figure on the right wears a dark cloak with a red headband. Both figures hold long sticks or staffs, which they use to stir the water. The background of the painting features a dark, murky body of water with ripples and waves. In the distance, there are trees and a yellow and green sky. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of gloom and foreboding. The use of dark colors and the eerie landscape creates a sense of unease, drawing the viewer's attention to the two figures in the foreground.
