Über das Werk
While hunting, Cephalus accidentally injures his wife Procris as she was spying on him because she suspected him of adultery. Desperately, he tries to save her, but in vain: in the background, the pyre for her funeral is already being prepared. Magdalena de Passe based this mythological scene on a painting by Adam Elsheimer. She dedicated the print to the Flemish painter Rubens, with whom she was in contact.
