Judith's servant puts the head of the Assyrian warlord Holophernes into her bag, so that it can be taken from the Assyrian army camp unseen. Judith watches, sword in hand. Rembrandt also made a drawing of the decapitation. Following the art expert Frits Lugt (1933) the Louvre attributes the drawing to Rembrandt. |
