Jezebel "painted her face" (
2 Kings 9:30); and the practice of painting the
face and the eyes seems to have been common (
Jer. 4:30;
Ezek. 23:40). An allusion to this practice is found in the name of Job's
daughter (42:14) Kerenhappuch (q.v.). Paintings in the modern sense of the word were unknown to the ancient Jews.
