"Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is a renowned oil painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, a prominent Italian Baroque artist. Created around 1625, during Gentileschi's Florentine period, this work is one of several paintings by the artist that depict the biblical story of Judith beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. The painting is celebrated for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the psychological intensity between the figures.

The narrative depicted in the painting is drawn from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith, in which the widow Judith seduces and subsequently decapitates Holofernes to save her people from his siege. In Gentileschi's interpretation, the moment captured is one of tension and anticipation, as Judith and her maidservant Abra prepare to leave the tent of Holofernes with his severed head. The composition is notable for its close cropping, which enhances the sense of immediacy and intimacy.

Gentileschi's own life experiences, including her survival of sexual assault and her subsequent participation in a highly publicized trial, have often been cited as influencing her empathetic and powerful portrayals of female figures. "Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is no exception, with its depiction of female solidarity and strength in the face of adversity.

The painting is part of the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts in Michigan, United States, and remains an important work in the study of Baroque art and the oeuvre of Artemisia Gentileschi. It stands as a testament to Gentileschi's skill in storytelling through visual arts and her ability to convey complex emotions and narratives, positioning her as one of the most significant female painters of the 17th century.
