 On 7 January 1830 Etty 's mentor Thomas Lawrence died , followed on 30 July by Etty 's mother . Etty was devastated by the loss , and was one of those considered to replace Lawrence as President of the Royal Academy , although in the event he did not stand for election . Possibly distracted by the death of Lawrence , Etty only submitted three paintings to the Summer Exhibition that year . One of these , Judith Going Forth , was an addition to Judith , which had been commissioned the previous year by that painting 's new owners , the Royal Scottish Academy .
