About this work
A dark-haired woman draped in a mauve cloak over a white sashed gown stands within a carved stone arch, gripping a broadsword's hilt while her other hand rests lightly atop a bearded man's severed head propped on the ledge before her. Her downcast eyes and closed lips give no triumph, only a heavy stillness, framed by a Latin inscription carved into the stone below.
Deep shadow fills the background, isolating the figure in a single raking light that models the satin folds of her cloak and the pallor of the severed head in fine, polished detail. Warm flesh tones sit against cool greys and browns, and the tight, academic finish lends the biblical subject a solemn, restrained gravity.
