Image description: Art in black and white; death in the costume of the wicked bird sits at a table with Bachelor Daniil Dankovsky. The two of them are playing chess out of the buildings of the town; death is making its move while the Bachelor watches, a hand on his chin, in deep concentration. Below them, the table extends out in intricate veins with a bottom border depicting a bull in wheat, a heart, a curled snake, and two contorted tragedians. The top part of the image reveals that the entire chess game is taking place in an egg or womb, which is being pried open by the hands of the Powers That Be. They loom overhead with large heads and peering, wide eyes. End ID.
