Judith at the Banquet of Holofernes

Judith at the Banquet of Holofernes (also known as Artemisia Receiving Mausolus' Ashes and Sophonisba Receiving the Poisoned Cup) is a painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt.

It is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

It portrays a young woman, formerly identified as Sophonisba or Artemisia, or a generic queen due to her jewels and rich garments, receiving a cup from a maiden.

[1][2] Today it is considered to be Judith at the banquet of Holofernes.

[3] For the woman, Rembrandt probably used his wife Saskia as model.
