From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Judith Walking to the Left, and Her Servant is a 1525 ink by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows two women walking to the left. The woman on the right is nude, with a leafy headband and her hair in a ponytail. She has her right arm raised and her left arm down. The woman on the left is dressed and has her right arm around the nude woman's neck. She holds a sword in her left hand. The background is plain. The engraving features cross-hatching, a technique that creates shading and texture. The women's bodies are rendered in fine lines, giving them a sense of volume and depth.
