Judith and her maid have put Holofernes' head on a dish and are covering it with a cloth. The dead army leader lies to the right, his arms still seemingly struggling. The arms are in harmony with the sleeves of his armor, left.
This fresco is found in a corner of the Sistine Chapel, at the side of the entrance. In the other corner is the fresco with David killing Goliath, another episode of a Jewish hero killing an enemy.
