About this work

A black and white ink illustration by Howard Pyle, dated 1903, shows a regal woman in a long gown and headdress gesturing on a rocky bank while a sword in an ornate jeweled scabbard drifts above a figure sinking into water. Armored onlookers with a heraldic shield stand behind her beside a line of trees, and a decorative illuminated initial Q begins the caption above the scene.
