About this work
A pale woman in a loosely draped robe stands at left, eyes lowered, hand at her bare chest. A bearded man in a plumed headdress rests his hand on a dagger at his belt between her and a helmeted soldier who stands with his back turned, musket in hand. A raven perches lower right near a cup, a pomegranate, and painted inscriptions naming David, Uriah, and Bathsheba.
Deep reds and blacks frame the scene like an old book cover, with pseudo-heraldic lettering, a flamingo feather, and an eye-in-triangle motif reinforcing the flat, emblematic style. Smooth glazes and sharp contours give the tense triangle of figures a stately, theatrical gravity.
