Engraving of a woman holding back a tent curtain beside an armored man lying dead on the ground, with horsemen approaching across a dusky landscape.

Yael kills Sisra, engraving by Gustave Doré

A wood engraving shows a veiled woman in a long robe holding back a tent curtain with one hand, as she stands over an armored man lying face down on the ground. Beyond the tent opening, mounted soldiers and spearmen ride across a dusky landscape under a cloudy sky, lit by a pale glow.
