The Head of Saint John the Baptist presented to Salome is a circa 1609 painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) executed shortly after his return to his native city of Flanders after a long stay in Italy.

The painting which had been lost or misattributed for over 209 years was rediscovered in 1987 and in 1998 sold for $5.5 million US. The work then became part of the Fisch-Davidson collection of Baroque paintings and in turn was sold in February 2023 during Sotheby's Old Masters sale for $26.9 million the third highest ever price for a work by Rubens[1][2][3]
