About this work

. This colored print depicts a bearded King David wearing a crown, sandals, and a red cape over a teal robe. He is seated outdoors on a throne and playing a harp, while resting one foot on a footstool. He looks up at the sky where dark clouds have just parted to reveal a burst of light. The harp has two winged portrait busts attached to the top of the harp and a small male angel figure seated on a piece of furniture, possible a piano or harpsichord.
