About this work

The painting shows a kneeling, half-clothed man in a red mantle as a muscular executioner raises a sword behind him beside a classical arcade. A woman in a pink dress holds a golden platter at the right, and a distant domed temple and mountains appear in the background. This is the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist by Giovanni Antonio Sogliani.
