Goliath lies on the ground. David stands with one foot on his chest and raises Goliath's sword above his head, ready to behead him. On the left the Philistines flee, while Saul's soldiers pursue them. Below the image a Latin reference to the biblical text in 1 Samuel 17. This print is part of an album.
