Judith with the Head of Holofernes

Workshop of Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure wearing a long, flowing garment, standing upright. The figure is holding an object in the right hand, while the left hand appears to be resting on a textured object resembling a sculpted head. The material looks metallic, with a bronze-like finish. The details of the figure, including the facial features and attire, are intricately crafted. The overall appearance conveys strength and determination. The scale suggests it is a small piece.
