Judith Killing Holofernes

Deutsche Grafik 1250–1460, c. 1460

The artwork shows a scene with two figures. A standing woman, dressed in a long robe and a crown, is positioned over a reclining man. She holds a sword with both hands above the man's head, which she grasps by the hair. The man is partially covered by a draped green cloth. The background is minimal, with an off-white color and some faint, abstract shapes. There is text in red and black at the top and bottom of the image.
