Rembrandt drew David Receiving the News of Uriah's Death around 1650. The drawing shows the messenger before David as Nathan waits patiently in the wings. Startled by the messenger's announcement, David recoils and glares at him, Rembrandt brilliantly evoking the king's guilt by the empty chair and space behind him.
