After a subject by David Vinckboons. Claes Visscher as publisher.
In a richly landscaped castle garden, Bathsheba receives David's letter by a fountain. In the distance a castle, in the foreground a pond and various animals near the forest edge.

Jan van LONDERSEEL (Anversa circa 1570 – Rotterdam 1624/25)

Flemish engraver, etcher and print publisher. He apparently trained in Antwerp, where he may have worked in the workshop of Abraham de Bruyn, father of his brother-in-law Nicolaes de Bruyn. About 1600 he followed his brother A(ha)ssuerus van Londerseel (bapt Antwerp, 30 March 1572; d before 21 May 1649), also an engraver and print publisher, to Rotterdam. He seems to have been active there between 1610 and 1625; in 1614 he was living in Delft.
