‘Study of Judith,’ 5x7”

My master study of a fragment within Eglon Hendrik van der Neer’s painting ‘Judith’, a 5” × 7” acrylic on canvas board.

This piece inspired me to get the viewer to push the norm of power and womanhood being two separate entities.

This painting shows that softness and beauty DOES yield strength.

Her hand is softly gripping the hilt, showing that true power is never shown through brute strength.

Comes ready to hang in ornate gold frame pictured!
