Woodcut of two women cowering on the ground as two soldiers in classical dress raise swords about to kill them, in a pose very like an illustration of the Massacre of the Innocents. In the background more classical soldiers keep the crowd away, and a man in the middle seems to be directing the violence. This bears no relation to the text!
