As the world slips away, do you think she wishes she had been crucified instead?

It's just a single pic, not part of a set.Is there more of this like a set or is this a single pic on it's own?
Anyone?
I keep looking at this image. I imagine seeing on a wall in an art gallery, mixed in with various old masters works. I would sit on the bench in front of it and just gaze up, savoring the composition, appreciating the artist's talent. The image is so complete I can even imagine all the activity out of the frame as preparations are made to raise her cross. The action is somewhere else -- the water girl is looking at it, warily, knowing she just has a few moments. You gorgeously present a tiny slice of humanity amidst such horror and agony!View attachment 298092
Her name was Zillah, and she was a slave of the Romans. When she could, she would perform an act of kindness; usually giving a condemned girl a drink of water. She wasn't particularly worried about being caught: because of her willingness to have sex with the Roman soldiers, sometimes four or five at once (and her renowned skill in doing so), she knew she wouldn't be put to death; she would only be beaten. But she had been beaten many times, and would be beaten again; it no longer bothered her. All that was left was the solemn pride she felt at defying her captors.
that's a lovely image, glad you've found it for us Phlebas.These new pics are quite beautiful, Rotrex, the image quality is superb.
Found this one of yours in my "to post" folder recently, it's been hanging around for a couple of years
