Herodias and Salome is a 1631 ink by Bartolomeo Coriolano, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this image, two women are depicted in a chiaroscuro woodcut. The woman on the left wears a head covering and holds a platter with a head on it. The woman on the right is bare-chested and wears a headpiece. Both women are dressed in flowing robes. The image is printed in ochre, brown, and black on laid paper, giving it a warm and rich tone. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures. The image is an allegory, representing a story or idea through symbolic figures.
