The image depicts a Scottish and Irish retinue, members of his own trusted soldiers, carrying out this historic act. Albrecht van Wallenstein, an Austrian soldier and military leader during the Thirty Years' War, was a prominent figure in Europe during those tumultuous years from 1583 to 1634.

It invites us to reflect on themes such as loyalty, trust, and ambition that continue to resonate throughout history.
