The painting shows a woman holding a head. She's dressed in fancy clothes. The story behind this image is interesting - it's from the Bible, where Judith beheads an enemy general. The artist tells this story in a simple way. The scene is dramatic, but not too complicated. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Mocetto, Girolamo.
