Bathsheba at her Toilet
Cornelis van Haarlem1594
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The beautiful Bathsheba bathes out of doors assisted by two maidservants. King David spies the young woman from the roof of his palace and instantly falls in love. Although he is not depicted in the painting, David’s presence is suggested by the castle in the distance. Curiously, the servant seen from behind has a male body.
