If you were a rich Saxon family during the Protestant reformation & you wanted a portrait of your daughter that would evade the censorship of Martin Luther - the studio of Lucas Cranach the Elder offered a solution. Have her pose as Salome with the head of St.John the Baptist.
Losing the head for fashion. In the German renaissance it was the height of fashion for aristocratic Saxon ladies to have their portraits done by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 -1553). Dozens posed piously with sword and decapitated head as "Judith with the Head of Holofernes".
