Summary
| Description |
English: The Chongzhen Emperor killing his daughter in the Forbidden City, so that she would not be captured by Li Zicheng's rebels (April 1644). The image of a hanging person on a tree in the background probably refers to the emperor's suicide that followed. The woodcut is probably made by a European artist who did not go to China himself, but had to rely on Martini's account of the events in De bello tartartico |
