Judith at the Banquet of Holofernes (also known as Artemisia Receiving Mausolus' Ashes and Sophonisba Receiving the Poisoned Cup) is a painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt. It is housed in the Museo del Prado of Madrid, Spain. It is signed "REMBRANDT F: 1634".

Judith
Artist	Rembrandt
Year	1634
Medium	Oil on canvas
Dimensions	142 cm × 152 cm (56 in × 60 in)
Location	Museo del Prado, Madrid

The subject of the picture was unclear for centuries. It portrays a young woman, formerly identified as Sophonisba or Artemisia, or a generic queen due to her jewels and rich garments, receiving a cup from a maiden.[1][2] Today it is considered to be Judith at the banquet of Holofernes.[3]

For the woman, Rembrandt probably used his wife Saskia as model.

[es] Artemisa (Rembrandt)

Artemisa es el título tradicional de una importante pintura del pintor neerlandés Rembrandt conservada en el Museo del Prado en Madrid, España. Rembrandt la realizó en óleo sobre lienzo, en el año 1634. Mide 127 cm de alto y 143 cm de ancho. Está firmada «REMBRANDT F: 1634». Hay que precisar que según las últimas investigaciones, el título Artemisa es erróneo y en realidad la obra representaría una escena bíblica: Judit en el banquete de Holofernes.
