"Judith," a painting by French artist Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ, portrays the biblical heroine in profile, her gaze directed to the right. The work depicts Judith in a moment of contemplation, possibly before her infamous act of beheading Holofernes. The painting captures the drama of the moment with the subject's elaborate headdress, revealing a hint of the bold act to come. Nouÿ's realistic style emphasizes the details of Judith’s clothing and jewelry.
