This figure appears just to the right of a column dividing the two scenes in a ten-meter-wide painting by Bartholomeus Strobel the Younger. One opera centered on this figure uses a wordless chorus in the closing scene and was written by Antoine Mariotte. A lutenist is shown to the right of this figure, who points towards the central figure with her left hand, in Gustave Moreau's painting The Apparition. Another opera named for this figure was dedicated to Sir Edgar Speyer and includes a dissonant (*) sforzando chord in its final scene. In one painting of this figure by Caravaggio, she wears a black dress while a man who holds a dagger in his left hand examines the titular object with his right. The most famous work about this woman includes characters like Jochanaan and Narraboth and contains the Dance of the Seven Veils. For 10 points, name this woman who obtained the head of John the Baptist, most famously the subject of an opera by Richard Strauss.
