Death and the Maiden is an oil on canvas painting by the Austrian painter Egon Schiele from 1915.

Schiele initially named the large picture measuring 150 by 180 centimeters as Man and Girl and also Entwined People.

The painting was created when the painter, after marrying Edith Harms, was drafted into military service in the First World War.

In this painting, the woman clutching the shape of death as her lover, in a monk's robe, loses its horror.

There are some similarities with fellow Austrian painter Oskar Kokoschka painting The Bride of the Wind (1914).
