"Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Orazio Gentileschi, created circa 1621–1624. This work is one of several paintings by Gentileschi that depict the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city. The painting is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its psychological complexity, both hallmarks of the Baroque era.

The painting portrays the moment after the beheading, with Judith holding the sword and her maidservant carrying the severed head of Holofernes in a basket. The figures are set against a dark background, which serves to heighten the tension and focus the viewer's attention on the interaction between the two women. Gentileschi's composition captures the intensity of the narrative through the figures' expressions and the dynamic play of light and shadow.

"Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes" is often noted for its depiction of female strength and heroism, themes that resonate with the life of the artist's daughter, Artemisia Gentileschi, who was also a painter and frequently explored similar subjects in her own work. The painting is part of a larger cultural interest in the Judith story during the Baroque period, which saw the tale as an allegory for political and religious strife.

Currently, the painting is held in the Detroit Institute of Arts in Michigan, United States, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic mastery and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in a timeless story. Its place in art history is secured by Orazio Gentileschi's reputation as a key figure in the development of Baroque painting, and by the work's enduring power to captivate and provoke thought among audiences.
