caption: The image shows a black and white engraving of a man standing on a pedestal, holding a wooden pole in his hand. At the bottom of the image, there is some text which reads "The Death of St. John the Baptist". The man appears to be in a state of despair, with his head bowed and his hands clasped together in a gesture of despair. His body is slumped in a slumped position, and his face is contorted in anguish. The wooden pole is tall and imposing, and the text is written in a bold font, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
