This print shows three women in a dimly lit scene. The woman in the center wears a flowing dress and holds a fan, looking slightly to the side. To her left, another woman balances a large hat decorated with fruit on her head. On the right, a third woman with curly hair and flowing hair or fabric stands dramatically. The title calls her "The Daughter of Herodias," which comes from a biblical story. The artist used shading to create depth and drama in the figures. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
