Cabeça de João Batista — História e Análise

A pedido de sua enteada Salomé, Herodes ordenou a decapitação de João Batista. Ela recebeu sua cabeça em um prato. Este tema macabro – frequentemente chamado de Johannes in disco (João em um prato) – é representado aqui.

No entanto, o prato está ausente. O alabastro pálido como a morte, a boca aberta e a língua, e as órbitas oculares profundas reforçam o realismo cru.
