A framed, vertical, black-and-white woodcut titled "A CABEÇA DE JOÃO BATISTA" (The Head of John the Baptist) by Mauricio Nogueira Lima (1960) is centrally displayed on a plain white wall. The artwork depicts a stylized, wide-faced severed head with an open mouth, presented on a platter. This platter is held above the head of a nude, stylized female figure, whose arms are raised. The female figure's torso features distinct breasts and long hair, while her lower body, including a triangular shape marking the pubic area, is rendered against a solid black rectangular background. The text "A CABEÇA DE JOÃO BATISTA" is integrated into the upper portion of the print. To the right of the artwork, a small rectangular information plaque confirms the artist, title, medium (xilogravura), and indicates the piece belongs to the "Acervo Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo." A similar plaque is partially visible to the left. The environment consists of white walls and a white baseboard, typical of an art exhibition space. This scene is located within the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, in São Paulo, Brazil.
