Rembrandt Paints Bathsheba at Her Bath

This event has not been added to any topics.

Bathsheba at Her Bath is an oil painting of Bathsheba by Rembrandt from 1654. The model was Rembrandt's partner Hendrickje Stoffels. She is known to have died young and the shadow on her left breast has led some to speculate that her death was from breast cancer.

The painting hangs in the Louvre; it was one of 583 works donated by Dr. Louis La Caze in 1869.
