Bathsheba Had a Good Figure, But She Didn't Have a Head for Them

That's "Bathsheba with King David's Letter", 1654 by Rembrandt.  The columns of figures are from a piece of paper found in a book purchased in a "thrift or charity" shop.  The corner of a US 2 dollar bill is the real thing...I was walking my dog yesterday and I found 1/4 of a $2 bill on the ground.  We walked around for quite a while looking for the other part(s) of it but never did so I thought I would include it in this collage.

  1. Nice finds! Rarely find coins let alone notes on my travels - nice selection of nuts, bolts, nails, washers etc. though!

  4. Reading the title and seeing the columns of numbers I first thought she is counting calories :)
    I like the combination of the different images in combination with the title!
