This image depicts Hans Memling's 'Chasse de Sainte Ursule: Le Martyre de Sainte Ursule,' or 'The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula.' The painting portrays Saint Ursula, surrounded by her companions, being martyred by archers. The scene is set against a backdrop of tents and buildings, possibly representing Cologne, where the martyrdom is believed to have taken place. The style is typical of Early Netherlandish painting, with detailed figures and realistic depictions of textures and objects.
