A young woman rapped - in her final seconds. She must be terrified, full of anger, fear, confusion - but also determination. The last few thoughts before your own death after you have been violated must be terrible.

Another rare catch of a unknow  Maestro - at least to me. I couldn’t find much about Mazzanti on the Intranets apart from this tidbit (taken from here):

Mazzanti Ludovico (1686-1775)

A painter who came from a noble family of Orvieto, he belonged to the Romano-Neapolitan school of artists and carried out his early work in Rome and Orvieto. In Rome he collaborated with Nicolò Pomarancio in the church of Santa Maria Apollinare, while at Orvieto he designed the upper mosaics for the Cathedral façade (1713-1714). He executed many works at Naples, where he was based during the years 1733 -1740, and in Campania (the Abbey of Montevergine).

In 1744 he became a member of the Academy of St. Luca. When he was invited to Città di Castello he was already famous. He painted the frescoes of the original cupola of the Cathedral, designed by the architect Nicola Barbioni, which collapsed in the earthquake of 1789. Documents relating to this work are conserved in the Museum archives. All that remains are the Evangelists at the base of the cupola arches and some models held in the Cathedral Museum: a work of "truly baroque magniloquence" (V. Casale). At Città di Castello he painted two altarpieces for the "Murate" monastery (enclosed order of nuns) and other works in private houses. He also received commissions from foreign countries notably France and Poland.

This painting looks like a sequel to Guido Cagnazzi’s Lucretia - just a few seconds later. I am amazed by the perfect painting of her cloths and her skin looks so silky it’s unbelievable.
