Judith 1610 - 1669

Ludolf Büsinck's "Judith" (1610-1669) is a detailed etching showcasing the biblical heroine Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes. The dramatic scene depicts Judith, draped in flowing robes, holding up the head while a servant looks on. The meticulous lines and shading create a sense of depth and realism in the composition. The etching is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
