Judith's Prayer is a 1848 oil by Antoon Van Ysendyck, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows a woman in a white robe, holding up a black cloth with both hands. She wears a blue sash around her waist and has gold jewelry on her head, neck, and wrists. Her face is turned upwards, with her mouth slightly open. In the background, there's a dark red wall and a table with a white cloth on it. The woman's white robe stands out against the darker colors around her. The painting seems to focus on the woman's expression and the way she's holding the black cloth. The use of light and dark colors in this painting is reminiscent of the technique used by artists who worked with chiaroscuro.
