Description
Español: El lienzo muestra a Salomé , hija de la reina Herodias, sujetando con sus manos la bandeja con la cabeza del profeta Juan el Bautista , que según los Santos Evangelios murió decapitado por orden del rey Herodes Antipas tras haber prometido este ultimo a su hijastra Salomé que, si accedía a bailar ante él, le entregaría lo que deseara. Y al pedirle la joven que le entregara la cabeza del Bautista, el rey se mostró contrariado porque lo apreciaba, pero al final accedió a sus deseos y ordenó ejecutarlo, encargándose posteriormente sus discípulos de dar sepultura a su cadáver.
