"Bathsheba Receiving David's Letter" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist François Verwilt. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Bathsheba, who is portrayed at the moment she receives a letter from King David after he saw her bathing and became infatuated with her beauty. This narrative is drawn from the Second Book of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible and has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, often highlighting themes of beauty, desire, power, and moral complexity.

Verwilt's interpretation of the scene captures the intimate and private moment of Bathsheba's contemplation, as she reads the letter that would lead to a series of dramatic events, including her adulterous affair with David, the king's orchestration of her husband Uriah's death, and the subsequent birth of their son Solomon. The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of Bathsheba's expression and the luxurious surroundings that hint at her elevated status.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, François Verwilt, active during the Dutch Golden Age, is known for his skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey complex emotions through his subjects. "Bathsheba Receiving David's Letter" is considered an example of the artist's mastery of portraiture and historical scenes, contributing to the rich tapestry of Baroque art.

The painting is part of the broader artistic tradition that explores the story of David and Bathsheba, which includes works by masters such as Rembrandt and Titian. Verwilt's contribution to this tradition reflects the enduring fascination with biblical narratives and their capacity to offer moral and aesthetic contemplation. As an artwork, "Bathsheba Receiving David's Letter" not only showcases Verwilt's technical prowess but also serves as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the religious and societal values of the period in which it was created.
