There is a lovely painting out there… ‘Nāve’ (‘Death’), 1897 produced by Latvian painter Janis Rozentāls. It is a woman holding an infant. The woman is looking towards the specter before her… but not directly… as if she isn’t full there. The specter is a female dressed fully in white with a hand sickle. The specter of death is giving a final kiss to the infant. I… personally… think this is a much less intimidating Death. Something a bit more for children and infants to be carried off to the Afterlife.
