Death Waits | Erich Wilke | 1912 Size:18"x24" the dark cat watching withThis haunting illustration shows Death seated calmly atop an iceberg as the Titanic steams toward it through dark, restless waters. Rendered in stark tones, the skeletal figure waits in silence, transforming the looming collision into an image of grim inevitability. Created in 1912 by Erich Wilke, the work serves as a chilling allegory of fate, hubris, and the quiet presence of death just beyond human awareness. Print: A premium quality heavyweight
