"Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, created around 1625. This work is one of several paintings by Gentileschi that depict the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who saves her people by seducing and beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. The painting is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its powerful representation of female figures, themes that are characteristic of Gentileschi's oeuvre.

The painting portrays the moment after Judith has beheaded Holofernes, as she and her maidservant prepare to leave the tent of the slain general. The composition focuses on the two women in a tense and alert state, with Judith holding the sword and her maidservant grasping the basket containing the severed head. The scene is illuminated by a single light source, casting deep shadows and highlighting the intensity and determination on the women's faces.

Gentileschi's personal history, including her experience with sexual assault and the subsequent trial, has often been cited as influencing her depiction of strong and defiant female protagonists. "Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is a prime example of her engagement with themes of female agency and vengeance.

The painting is part of the Detroit Institute of Arts collection, and it remains an important work for the study of Baroque art and the role of women artists in the period. Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few female painters to achieve fame during the 17th century, is celebrated for her technical skill and her progressive portrayal of women, both of which are evident in this powerful and evocative masterpiece.
