Judith and the Head of Holofernes
The painting depicts the biblical character of Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes. The slightly lifted head has a sense of pride, whereas her visage is languid and sensual, with parted lips in between defiance and seduction. The contrast between the black hair and the golden luminosity of the background enhance elegance and exaltation.
