DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A female figure in classical drapery looks towards dawn breaking in the sky to the left. She sits amongst ruined buildings and smoke from fires raging in the background, a human skull in her left hand. The figure of death emerges from behind her and at lower left, two soldiers carry a body towards a field full of graves. The child at the centre who builds with stones from the ruins represents hope for the future.
