DescriptionA black-and-white drawing of three men wearing hats, heavy coats and mustaches carrying a coffin decorated with a hammer and sickle. Given the Soviet symbolism and identical costumes and facial features, this likely depicts former USSR leader Joseph Stalin (d. 1953) in several iterations, carrying either his own casket or the casket of the nation.On View
