- Physical Description
- Three dark female figures are suspended in purgatory, with clasped hands in front of a triangular shaft of light that projects down from the top.
- Subject Matter
- Pechstein's "The Lord's Prayer" series of woodcuts mixes the text of the prayer with images of human wretchedness and spiritual need that draw on the Christian tradition to comment directly on the suffering and despair experienced by many Germans in the aftermath of the First World War and the economic crisis that followed.
- This sheet of the portfolio depicts souls in purgatory, experiencing the dread of being kept from heaven by their sins, the fear of God, and the desperate hope of salvation.
