Oil on canvas, 54.5 × 78 cm.
On the back, there is the label of the First Provincial Exhibition Pistoia July-September 1929, Sacred Art Section, with the indication of the Giovanni Mazzei collection. In this pair of canvases, the theme, which was so successful between Caravaggio and his followers, of the confrontation between the horror of the severed enemy's head and the exhibited and brazen youth of the biblical hero and heroine is resolved in an elegant painting, graceful in its coloristic flares and crackling draperies: a taste, that of the last Medici, which opens to the eighteenth century.
The works are accompanied by a study by Professor Francesca Baldassarri.
