پرونده:Raja Ravi Varma, Judith.jpg

English: Judith by Ravi Varma following painting of Judith by French Orientalist painter J.J. Benjamin-Constant (1845–1902). There is perhaps, one known example of Ravi Varma replicating a European painting in its entirety instead of a partial adaptation. On his visit to Baroda in 1888, Ravi Varma had seen Judith, painted by Benjamin Constant in 1886. Judith was a forceful theme and a popular motif with European painters for centuries because it justified the painting of a scantily-dressed 'temptress' while reinforcing the notion of patriotism and courage.
