Description
English: This biblical story is set in the time of the Babylonian siege of Judea. It speaks of Divine power acting through one of its creatures, the young widow Judith, who liberates her people by beheading Holofernes, King Nebuchadnezzar’s general. Judith is portrayed as a vulnerable young woman standing alone in the murdered general’s tent. Holding the still bloody sword, she places one hand gently on the general’s severed head. Her face expresses both horror and melancholy.
Svenska: Denna bibliska historia utspelar sig vid tiden för babyloniernas belägring av Judea. Uppfylld av gudomlig kraft, befriar den unga änkan Judit sitt folk genom att halshugga Holofernes, kung Nebukadnessars general. Judit skildras som en sårbar, ung kvinna, ensam i den mördade fältherrens tält. I ena handen håller hon det ännu blodiga svärdet, medan hon varsamt lägger den andra på fiendens avhuggna huvud. Hennes ansiktsuttryck vittnar om både skräck och melankoli.
