Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the somber atmosphere surrounding La Cosa's passing. Set against a backdrop of turbulent seas, the image showcases ships sailing on treacherous waters, symbolizing both life and death. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability of human existence as we witness La Cosa's final moments.
