About this work
An engraved composition shows a richly dressed queen in a long embroidered gown standing before a basin in which an attendant washes a severed head. A group of bearded and helmeted soldiers in fur-trimmed garments stands at right, while women and children gather at left beside a dog. The print is credited to Peter Paul Rubens and is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
