Which Rembrandt painting is also known as Bathsheba at Her Bath?
Answer
Bathsheba with King David’s Letter
Answer
Bathsheba with King David’s Letter
Rembrandt’s painting also known as Bathsheba at Her Bath is Bathsheba with King David’s Letter.
Rembrandt painted the work in 1654, depicting Bathsheba after receiving a letter from King David. The biblical story tells how David saw Bathsheba bathing, summoned her, and later arranged for the death of her husband, Uriah. Rembrandt focuses on Bathsheba’s troubled emotional state rather than on spectacle.
The model is generally identified as Hendrickje Stoffels, Rembrandt’s long-term partner. Her presence gives the painting a direct connection to the artist’s household, though the identification is not an inscription by Rembrandt.
The work is held in the Louvre in Paris. It is sometimes confused with Rembrandt’s Susanna at the Bath, another biblical painting involving a woman bathing, but the two works depict different stories.
