is a powerful and haunting etching by Jacques Callot that depicts the grim reality of war. This print, found in the collection of Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, captures the immense suffering and despair experienced during times of conflict. In this particular scene, Callot skillfully portrays the horror of a public execution - a chilling reminder of one of war's many miseries.
