Beheading of St. John the Baptist.

Engraving, 44,5 x 59 cm (platemark), laid paper, signed in the plate at lower margin.

Mounted under passe-partout.

Excellent dark impression of this dramatic scene. Wurzbach, who lists it as 21 under Quellinus, suggested Lucas Vorsterman as a printmaker, but this is not followed by the Hollstein cataloguer.
