Eponina heeft zichzelf met een dolk gestoken 1738

This etching by Dutch artist Jan Punt, titled *Eponina heeft zichzelf met een dolk gestoken* (Eponina has stabbed herself with a dagger), depicts a scene from the play *Sabinus en Eponina, Treurspel* (Sabinus and Eponina, Tragedy). The artwork, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a dramatic moment where Eponina, a woman from the Roman Empire, has taken her own life with a dagger. The etching, created in 1738, captures the tragedy of the scene with detailed lines and powerful composition. *Sabinus en Eponina, Treurspel* is a popular work from Dutch literature and theatre, and Punt’s etching provides a visual interpretation of this important piece of Dutch culture.
