The image depicts a scene of beheadings. A man with a long beard and a hat stands on the left, holding a staff. A kneeling man is about to be beheaded by a standing man with a sword. A man on the right sits in a chair-like object with another man bending over to the left to be beheaded. A man on horseback with sword raised. Several onlookers are present, with buildings visible in the background. The scene appears to be a martyrdom. The image is in black and white. Text appears at the bottom written in italic script.
