Judith with the Head of Holofernes

Christoffel van Sichem I, after Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts two figures, one holding a sword and the other holding a severed head. In the background, there is a tent and a desolate landscape with a crescent moon and softly etched mountains or hills. The figures are dressed in elaborately detailed garments, suggestive of a historical or ancient setting. The line work is intricate and meticulous, allowing for rich textures in the clothing and background elements. The drawing style is typical of detailed woodcut or printmaking techniques, creating a sense of depth and dramatic narrative within the composition.
