David Teniers probably produced an oil study on canvas or panel (so-called pasticcio) of every painting in the collection of Leopold William of Austria, which served as models for the printmakers. It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have survived., Judith and Holofernes (Judith 8-16), A monochrome etching shows three human figures clustered closely together against a textured dark background. A young woman with a headscarf and loose garment occupies the center, her face lit and turned slightly to one side while one hand rests atop another person's head. To the right, an older person with a lined face and head covering looks toward the central woman and holds a lit candle whose small flame emits light. In the lower left foreground, a bearded man's face is visible with an open mouth and downward gaze, partially shadowed. The clothing of the figures is depicted with folds and drapery, and the image is framed by a narrow border.
