David and Bathsheba

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a busy indoor scene with five people. A woman in fancy clothes kneels in the center, holding a scroll while others gather around her. One person sits at a table with a book, another holds a tray, and a child plays on the floor. Outside the window, a town with towers and spires is visible. The artist used fine lines to show details like fabric folds and the town’s architecture. The scene feels crowded but carefully arranged, with each figure doing something specific.
