This scene is described by the Gospel (Mark 6:17-20). John rebuked Herod for having married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. The tetrarch is seen on a throne, Herodias' daughter Salome sits beside her mother. John remonstrates with Herod: 'You have no right to your brothers's wife'. As a consequence Herod was persuaded by his wife to imprison John.
