Description
This image represents the biblical episode where Judith beheads Holofernes. Judith is represented in the center of the image sitting on the bed with a sword in her hand. To her right is the Holofernes' body still in bed, except for his head which is on the floor. On the right there is an older woman who may be her maid. The characters that appear in the painting are reminiscent of typical Celestinesque scenes, where the procuress, the client and the protégé appear.
