This character stands next to a bare-chested black woman in a pink dress and headscarf in painting by Paolo Veronese.
This character stands next to a bare-chested black woman in a pink dress and headscarf in painting by Paolo Veronese. This figure is wearing white gloves with gold rings and a large red feathered hat in a work by Lucas Cranach the Elder. In one painting, a woman with a basket over her head runs behind this figure, who is walking with an olive branch; that work is by Botticelli. Another version of this character by Mantegna has red curly hair and stands in front of a (*) bed where a single foot is visible. Caravaggio's depiction of this woman shows her maid as a wizened old woman carrying a cloth. A more youthful version of that maid, Abra, helps hold down this woman's victim in one of another artist's bloody paintings of her. For 10 points, name this woman painted by Artemisia Gentileschi, who is commonly depicted holding a sword and the head of Holofernes.
