"Herodias" (circa 1878) is an oil painting by the French artist Albert Alexander Paul Rouffio, known for his historical and biblical scenes. The painting depicts the biblical figure Herodias, who is often associated with the story of the beheading of John the Baptist as recounted in the New Testament. Herodias, according to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, played a significant role in the execution of John the Baptist, having been offended by his rebuke of her marriage to Herod Antipas, her former husband's brother.

Rouffio's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to historical detail and dramatic presentation, which is evident in "Herodias." The painting captures the moment of Herodias's contemplation or perhaps her plotting, reflecting the artist's interest in the psychological portrayal of his subjects. The artwork is a fine example of 19th-century French academic art, where artists sought to convey grand historical, mythological, and biblical narratives with a polished technique and formal composition.

The painting's provenance, current location, and exhibition history are not well-documented in public records, which is not uncommon for works by artists who have not maintained a high profile in the art historical canon. As such, "Herodias" by Albert Alexander Paul Rouffio may be of particular interest to scholars of French academic painting and those researching the depiction of biblical women in art history. The painting serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with biblical themes in European art and the ways in which these stories have been interpreted and reimagined through the lens of different cultural epochs.
