Bathsheba at her Toilet — Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem

Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem. Painted 1594.

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. In this painting, the king remains unseen as Cornelisz van Haarlem depicted the Old Testament story from his point of view. We, the viewers, assume the role of David spying on the three nude women.
