Oil on canvas (re-lined) representing Judith and Holofernes,
This very fashionable subject at that time inspired a large number of painters and the one who executed the painting presented here was influenced by Guido Reni 1575-1642, one of the masters of Bolognese painting.
It is an Italian school from the 17th century, probably a Bolognese school, Judith lifting a sheet which reveals the freshly severed head of Holofernes resting on a dish
Beautiful rendering of drapes and materials with a very "warm" tone in the choice of colors
The quality work is presented in "good" condition in a 123 by 101 style frame.
