This image is an engraving or print depicting a scene with several figures. At the top of the frame, text reads "S.DYMPNA V.ET.M." which identifies the portrayed subject as Saint Dymphna, who is venerated in Catholic and Orthodox traditions. In the center and bottom of the image, a kneeling figure, likely Saint Dymphna herself, is shown reading a book, seemingly undisturbed by the dramatic scene unfolding around her. She appears serene and focused on her reading. A halo is visible above her head, indicating her sanctity. To her right, a menacing figure looms over her with a raised sword. This figure is wearing what appears to be a crown, suggesting some form of royalty or authority, and he looks rather aggressive. Historical context tells us that this could represent her father, who, according to legend, went mad and killed his daughter. This figure's gesture and facial expression convey a sense of imminent violence or threat. On the left side of the image, two figures can be seen in the background. One seems to be fleeing from the scene, holding up their hands in an apparent gesture of fear or shock. The other figure seems to be facing away from the main scene, also appearing distressed or in despair, possibly a witness to the unfolding tragedy. The setting includes faint outlines of architectural structures like a tower, suggesting that the scene is taking place near a town or castle, which corresponds with stories of Saint Dymphna, who is associated with a sanctuary for the mentally ill in the town of Geel, Belgium. The text at the bottom of the image, "Iſrael ex.", followed by "23. MAIJ," likely refers to the feast day of Saint Dymphna, which is celebrated on May 15 (May 23 in the Julian calendar, which was used in some areas before the Gregorian reform). The overall depiction is evocative of hagiographic narratives, where moments of martyrdom and acts of faith are illustrated to inspire devotion and memorialize the deeds of saints. This image blends elements of violence and tranquility to convey the ultimate sacrifice and steadfastness in faith of Saint Dymphna.

This image appears to be a monochromatic illustration depicting a scene of martyrdom. It features a central figure, a kneeling woman, who is likely Saint Dymphna, as suggested by the text "S. DYMPNA" at the top of the illustration. She is kneeling in prayer or submission, and in front of her stands a figure wearing a crown, about to strike her with a sword. This figure likely represents her father, depicted as an executioner about to commit the act of martyrdom by beheading. In the background, there are two additional figures engaged in what appears to be a struggle or another act of execution. The general setting seems barren and desolate, with minimal background elements aside from some structures far off to the right. The text "V. ET M." at the top right could stand for "Virgin and Martyr," reinforcing the holy and sacrificial nature of the depicted event. The bottom of the illustration includes the date "23 Maij," which traditionally marks the feast day of Saint Dymphna. The style and composition of the illustration are typical of religious artwork intended to convey scenes of saintly martyrdom and piety.
