Kollwitz's etching combines masterful technique with socio-critical urgency, making the work a central testimony to her humanistic art. It addresses the existential suffering of people in her time. A child in limbo between life and death, whose fate is yet to be decided. The powerful composition, the dramatic play of light and shadow, and the expressive lines intensify the emotional intensity of the scene.
