Yael kills Sisra

A wood engraving shows a veiled woman in a long robe holding back a tent curtain with one hand, as she stands over an armored man lying face down on the ground. Beyond the tent opening, mounted soldiers and spearmen ride across a dusky landscape under a cloudy sky, lit by a pale glow.

Español: Jael mata a Sísara, grabado de Gustave Doré

Un grabado en madera muestra a una mujer con velo y túnica larga que sostiene con una mano la cortina de una tienda, mientras está de pie junto a un hombre con armadura tendido boca abajo en el suelo. Al otro lado de la abertura, soldados a caballo y lanceros avanzan por un paisaje crepuscular bajo un cielo nublado, iluminado por un resplandor pálido.
