Description

When doing research for the October challenge, and the great plague in 1665, I came accross so many images with this title. They span over several centuries.

I must go to the dance As the priests go to Communion. I would like to hang back But I feel swelling under my clothing, Between my arms, when I breathe. This child is dying of plague. Sudden death is a great pity. One may not have an hour or a half hour.
Anonymous, 15th century.

Fantastic "focus" to this Render! It's like the fever-dream fantasy of a dying woman. The DOF and the glow around the figures faces is a fantastic touch. Most excellent work!
