This etching by Coenraet Decker, titled "Thisbe doodt zichzelf met zwaard van Pyramus bij fontein," depicts a scene from Ovid's *Metamorphoses*. The work shows Thisbe, a young woman, taking her own life with a sword after finding her lover, Pyramus, dead at a fountain. Decker’s rendering of the dramatic moment, with its detailed depiction of the figures and surrounding landscape, exemplifies the style of Dutch Baroque etching. This artwork is located in the Rijksmuseum.
