Description
A woman is stood in front of a brick fence before a pastoral landscape. She is alone save for the severed head of a man she is holding down with her left foot. She is a fair maiden, with Mona Lisa-like features and auburn hair pulled away from her face. She wears a pink gown, a grand sword gripped in her right hand.
