The image is part of the collection "Tales from Boccaccio" and depicts a pivotal moment in the story of Griselda. The composition focuses on a woman who has endured immense suffering at the hands of her husband.

The artist skillfully captures the anguish and resilience in Griselda's face as she stands before her husband. Her eyes reflect both pain and hope, mirroring the complex emotions she must be experiencing at this moment. Surrounded by opulence, we see an elegant room adorned with luxurious furnishings that signify wealth and power. A faithful dog lies at Griselda's feet, symbolizing loyalty amidst adversity.
