A woman with long, flowing red hair is positioned against a textured, cylindrical stone pillar, wearing a translucent, sleeveless gown in a shade of light pink that clings to her form as she gazes downward. Her pale wrists are bound together by heavy, dark metal shackles that are connected to a thick, segmented iron chain attached to the stone. A large book is also attached to the pillar, hanging down from the top. To the right, the executioner sits firmly on a round chunk of wood, dressed in a bright red fabric mask that tightly covers his entire head and neck, and forest green trousers. He maintains a steady posture while holding an axe in his right hand. In the background, several indistinct human faces are seen in the distance, their features partially obscured by the light. At the bottom of the scene, a small black cat lays on it's side near a scattered pile of tan-colored wooden sticks.
