"The Execution of the Innocent Count (detail 1)" is a notable 15th-century painting by Dieric Bouts the Elder, a prominent Early Netherlandish painter known for his innovative use of oil paint and his subtle yet expressive portrayal of figures within a narrative context. Created circa 1460, this work is part of a larger series of panels that depict the story of the Martyrdom of St. Hippolytus, based on the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies which was widely read at the time.

The painting is a detail from one of the four panels that originally formed the altarpiece for the Church of St. Peter in Louvain, now known as the Justice of Emperor Otto. The series illustrates the story of the trial and execution of an innocent nobleman, the Count, who is falsely accused by the emperor's wife after he rejects her advances. The specific detail in question captures the moment of the Count's execution, showcasing Bouts' mastery in conveying the emotional intensity of the scene through the expressions and postures of the figures involved.

Dieric Bouts was renowned for his ability to create a serene and contemplative atmosphere, and this is evident in "The Execution of the Innocent Count (detail 1)" where the solemnity of the event is depicted with a poignant stillness. The painting is exemplary of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its attention to detail, use of naturalistic landscapes, and a focus on domestic interiors and individual characters.

The work is significant for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the cultural and religious narratives of the time, as well as demonstrating the technical and stylistic developments in Early Netherlandish painting. "The Execution of the Innocent Count (detail 1)" is held in high esteem for its contribution to the narrative genre in art and remains an important piece for the study of Dieric Bouts' oeuvre and the broader context of 15th-century European art.
