Proud Judith

This Judith by the French painter Joseph Benjamin Constant (1845-1902) resembles a lot the other one. It’s also a proud woman who doesn’t need much symbols or action like cutting heads. The sword is enough.

    Definitely a different depiction of Judith than most are accustomed to. Very nice.

    Thats right. Probably because Constant was one of the better academic painters.
