Reproduction of an illustration by Karl von Piloty depicting a woman standing atop a wooden executioner's platform. She holds a cross in one hand, and reaches out with the opposite arm towards two cloaked figures standing on the ground beside the platform. A man grips her waist with one hand and her wrist with the other, as a second man stands on the platform holding an object with a handle, possibly an axe, wrapped in a cloth.
