Night Carrying Sleep and Death

A winged female figure with a wreath of small flowers in her hair flies across a pale sky, cradling two young children against her body. Drawn in pen and ink with watercolor wash on tan paper, her blue and cream drapery streams behind her while the wings sweep out in soft, feathered strokes.
