DescriptionJudith wearing a gold-colored dress over a white blouse, leans forward, her right arm crossed over her body, holding a sword. Her left arm is raised; her hand shields the light of a candle from her eyes. Her maidservant crouches at lower right, pulling a sack over the severed head of Holofernes. Red drape in the background.
