Judith and Holofernes
1958

A vibrant, expressionist painting depicting a lively indoor scene with multiple figures seated around a cluttered table filled with food and drink. The room is adorned with lush green plants and colorful decorations, and the perspective is slightly distorted, adding to the dynamic atmosphere of the composition.
