Blond Beauty
Bathsheba (1720) by the Italian painter Sebastiano Ricci (1659-1734).
Another version of Bathsheba. Here Ricci shows a wider environment. An impressive palace, numerous servants, and in the distance king David peeping. Bathsheba is a typical European blond baroque beauty.

Rococo Bathsheba
Bathsheba by the Italian painter Sebastiano Ricci (1659-1734).
Ricci depicted here a lazy rococo court lady with her maidservants taking care of her beautiful body. Bathsheba is probably aware of King David on his balcony. She’s a kind of Madame de Pompadour who wants to become queen in seducing the king.
