Date: c. 1630

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Museo de Arte de Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico

Description

Jael appears in the biblical Book of Judges. Deborah (with hands clasped in prayer) prophesied that the enemy would be defeated thanks to a woman, rather than by general Barak (in the background, looking diffident in spite of his helmet and armor). When the enemy’s commander Sisera was resting, Jael killed him instantly by driving a tent peg through his temple – the artist captures her grimace of fierce resolution, hammer still in hand. Jael was an ambiguous heroine, as she was often presented as a warning to men: with her exotic garments and low neckline, her attractiveness makes her dangerous.

Sisera: *talking in his sleep* You fool! No man can kill me!

Jael: *kneeling by his head with a tent peg and hammer* I am no man.
