Artemisia Gentileschi 1593 – 1656 Bathing Bathshebaoil on canvas (258 × 218 cm) — 1650
Artemisia Gentileschi biography This work is linked to 2 Samuel 11:2 Pretty Bathsheba has finished her bath. She is fixing her hair, using the mirror held by a servant. Other servants walk around. Perhaps she has already received King David's message. David has been watching her from his balcony (top left) and asks her to pay him a visit. Gentileschi depicted the subject several times.
