About this work
This etching shows a headless figure with a halo standing before an executioner who raises a blade, while a haloed saint gestures toward the scene from the right. Inscriptions along the top read S. Dionisia and cv filio, with the number 6 and DECE. at the bottom, and the signature Israel ex. appears below the figure. The print is one of Jacques Callot's series of saints' images for the year, labeled for December 6th.
