Bathsheba at Her Bath.

Detail from 'Bathsheba at Her Bath' (or Bathsheba with King David's Letter), an oil painting by the Dutch artist Rembrandt (1606-1669) finished in 1654. A depiction that is both sensual and empathetic, it shows a moment from the Old Testament story in which King David sees Bathsheba bathing and, entranced, seduces and impregnates her.[1] In order to marry Bathsheba and conceal his sin, David sends her husband into battle and orders his generals to abandon him, leaving him to certain death.
