Notes From a series of prints produced by Winstanley at Knowsley.

St Bartholomew looks directly towards the viewer whilst two executioners tie him to tree-trunks. Stuck in one of the trunks is a knife, ready for the executioner to flay St Bartholomew. Two heads can be seen in the background, and the head of a classical statue sits on the floor in the foreground.
