Image description: Toussaint Gelton (Flanders or Holland c.1630 - Copenhagen 1680). Oil painting on panel, The Suicide of Lucretia, by Toussaint Gelton (Flanders or Holland c.1630 - Copenhagen 1680), inscribed on the back: A / T. gellton fecit 1671 / prêt: 4.0.0 / Lucretia 1671. A three-quarter length female figure, standing, facing, head turned to the left her eyes gazing upwards, dressed in a white satin dress that has fallen off her right shoulder to reveal her right breast, and that is held by a brocaded sash around her waist. She holds a long thin dagger in her right hand, with which she has already penetrated and drawn blood from below her right breast; with her left she holds strands of her loose blonde hair. A blue curtain, draped to the left, occupies the top left corner. Ham House, Surrey (Accredited Museum)
