The image, part of a private collection, is based on an illustration for "The Book of Martyrs" by John Foxe edited by William Bramley-Moore.

Despite the imminent danger and potential martyrdom that awaits them both, the man courageously strives to follow his beloved leader into whatever lies ahead.

The artwork resonates with themes of religious persecution and sacrifice prevalent during its time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by Protestants who were persecuted for their beliefs.
