I chose this iteration of Judith beheading Holofernes because there seems to be more of a connect between the subjects in it. In this painting there is actually a maid helping to hold him down as he struggles to fight the inevitable. There also feels like there is more expression on their faces and they both show true disgust and anger while Holofernes looks empty and maybe a little surprised as he should be if he's dying. I also like how Judith is leaning away from him as to not get blood all over herself while the maid is right up close.
