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.
