Description
Cranach underscores the dramatic tension pervading the painting by the juxtaposition of the exposed, severed neck with Judith’s exquisitely detailed dress and jewelry, as well as by the way her fingers delicately twine through her victim’s curly hair. The multiple slits in her sleeves and gloves emphasize the actions of cutting and slicing.
