Her best-known work is Judith Slaying Holofernes (a well-known medieval and baroque subject in art), which “shows the decapitation of Holofernes, a scene of horrific struggle and blood-letting”.[2] That she was a woman painting in the seventeenth century and that she was raped and participated in prosecuting the rapist, long overshadowed her achievements as an artist. For many years she was regarded as a curiosity. Today she is regarded as one of the most progressive and expressive painters of her generation.
