Salomé

Wilhelm Volz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman with long red hair wearing a flowing green dress and red sandals. She stands facing left, leaning back slightly, and holding a plate with a severed head in her outstretched right hand. The severed head has a shocked expression and appears to be covered in blood. The plate is circular with a handle. The woman's dress is draped around her body, with one end hanging down between her legs. Her hair flows behind her, with some strands falling in front of her body. She stands on a beige background with a thin black border. The background features a pattern of circular designs and a body of water with a mountain range in the distance. The word "SALOME" is written in the upper right corner. The artist's signature is in the lower right corner.
