...Last one of this series of Apocalypse Horsemen
The pale horse's rider is the only one which is unequivocally identified in the writings, at first I was going to make it like the traditional representation of "Grim Reaper", you know the shrouded and hooded skeleton wielding a massive scythe. But I switched to this other design inspired on the medieval "Plague Doctors" because I already had it half done since I was going to depict the first horseman as Plague instead of Conquest...
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
