This painting shows a woman, Bathsheba, sitting in a bathtub, receiving a letter from a man. She's wearing a red cloth around her waist and has a white cloth draped over her shoulder. The man is dressed in a yellow robe and is handing her the letter. There are other people in the background, and the scene is set in a garden with trees, plants, and a fountain. The painting is very detailed, with lots of colors and textures. You can see the folds in the woman's cloth and the leaves on the trees. The man's robe is shiny, and the letter he's holding is white. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
