This 19th-century anonymous etching depicts a public execution in the Netherlands. A crowd of onlookers watches as a man is hanged, with two other figures being executed on crosses. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a windmill in the background. The detailed and meticulous style of the drawing, depicting the event in stark realism, highlights the harsh realities of 17th-century Dutch justice. The artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum.
