Judith met het hoofd van Holofernes 1752 - 1819

This watercolor drawing, created between 1752 and 1819 by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen, depicts the biblical story of Judith beheading Holofernes. Judith, a courageous widow, is shown holding a sword and the severed head of Holofernes, the Assyrian general, at her feet. This small-scale artwork, measuring only 144 mm in height and 91 mm in width, showcases Andriessen's skill in capturing the drama and tension of the biblical story. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interpretation of a well-known biblical scene.
