Bathsheba at Her Bath

Hans Burgkmair I

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene set in a medieval town. The drawing features a courtyard-like setting with a fountain at the center, adorned with a sculpture. An archway leads to buildings with arches, windows, and traditional rooftops in the background. In the foreground, two figures are near the fountain base, one seated and the other standing. Various objects are scattered around the fountain's edge. A lush garden with shaped trees provides contrast to the textures of the townsfolk's clothing and the stone architecture. The intricate lines and hatchings create a detailed portrayal of the medieval town environment, capturing a blend of ornate and everyday life.
