Measuring an impressive 196x247 cm, this artwork resides in the prestigious Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Giordano skillfully captures the essence of Bathsheba, a prominent figure from the Old Testament. The handmaidens attending to her add depth to the scene as they assist with her toilette. Draped in elegant fabrics and surrounded by an aura of gracefulness, Bathsheba embodies both beauty and power. This painting invites viewers to contemplate themes such as female identity, religious devotion, and societal expectations.
