Judith mit dem abgeschlagenen Haupt des Holofernes 

This red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni depicts the biblical heroine Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, a scene celebrated for its dramatic rendering. Reni's mastery of line and shading creates a sense of movement and emotion in this preparatory sketch for a larger painting, drawing attention to the intense gaze of Judith and the weight of the decapitated head. The artwork is housed in the Städel Museum, a renowned collection of European art in Frankfurt am Main.
