Judith 13 1 Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.

Judith has just decapitated the Assyrian army chief Holofernes. Her maidservant carries the head in a basket. They take a last look at Holofernes' dead body. Soon after the head would be on display on Judith's Bethulia city walls.
Artemisia probably made this painting not long after completing her version of Judith Beheading Holofernes.
