About the piece

Attributed to the French Baroque painter Georges Lallemand, this striking oil on metal work captures the biblical heroine Judith in a moment of cold triumph. Dressed in a sumptuous velvet gown with intricate patterns and an elaborate turban adorned with jewelry, Judith’s luminous presence contrasts sharply with the dark, moody background and the grisly trophy she holds. The work showcases the masterful attention to texture and light characteristic of 17th-century European painting.
