Judith and Holofernes 

This charcoal drawing by Victor Müller, titled “Judith and Holofernes,” depicts a scene from the biblical story of Judith, a young widow who saves her people from the Assyrian general Holofernes by seducing him and beheading him. Müller’s sketch captures the dramatic moment immediately after the act, emphasizing Judith's resolute figure as she stands over the slain Holofernes. The stark contrasts of light and shadow contribute to the drawing's dramatic and atmospheric effect. “Judith and Holofernes” is housed in the Städel Museum and is a testament to the artistic talent of Victor Müller, a 19th-century artist.
