== Synopsis ==
A woman who paints pictures of the deceased to assuage the grief of bereaved families meets a rich and enigmatic woman who offers her a commission. However, the strain of painting this final composition proves too much for the artist and she suffers a mental breakdown, destroying her previous works which, she reveals, showed the subjects not embraced in heavenly bliss, but sent to a hellish afterlife inhabited by cruel monstrosities.
