Judith Slaying Holofernes was completed in 1610, which is around the time that artist Agostino Tassi was working with Orazio Gentileschi.[5] Because of this fact, it is not true that Judith Slaying Holofernes was completed right after Gentileschi's rape trial.[5] Gentileschi painted another painting, Judith and her Maidservant (1613–14), which shows Judith holding a dagger while her maidservant carries a basket containing a severed head.
