Judith and Her Maidservant by Artemisia Gentileschi
Judith and Her Maidservant (1625)
Artemisia Gentileschi | Baroque | Oil on canvas
Two brave women pause in candlelight just after a daring mission. Judith keeps watch, shielding the candle's glow with her hand, while her maid Abra wraps up the proof of their mission in a bag. Both look alert for danger in the shadows!
Did you know? Artemisia painted Judith and her maid at least four times. The other versions are in Naples, Florence and Cannes, but many experts call this Detroit one her finest work!
