About this work

Saint Blaise is tortured. He hangs from a gallows while a man strikes him with an iron comb. His bishop's staff, mitre, and mantle lie on the ground. Women and children watch with delight what is happening. The angel hovering around the gallows already carries the symbol of the martyr, a palm branch.
