Titian - Judith with the Head of Holofernes (1515)

Note: There has been some argument about the identity of the woman in this painting. The confusion arose because the decapitated head is carried on a silver platter, traditionally the way that John the Baptist is depicted. This would then make the woman Salome. But the adoring expression on the face of the second woman suggests that she is Abla, Judith's servant, and this seems more likely. It is generally accepted now that this is, in fact, a painting of Judith, done at the beginning of Titian's career.
