Bas-reliëf met Judit 1727

This is a black and white engraving depicting the biblical story of Judith, a young widow who saved her people by beheading Holofernes, an Assyrian general. The engraving was created by Matthijs Pool, a Dutch artist, in 1727. The scene shows Judith holding the head of Holofernes, a testament to her bravery and faith. Pool uses intricate details and shading to bring the story to life, highlighting the contrast between Judith's strength and the lifelessness of Holofernes. The engraving is a classic example of Baroque art, known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, and is a testament to the skill of Pool, a prominent artist in the Dutch Golden Age.
