About this work
David kneels before the prophet Samuel, who will anoint him with oil from a horn to become king. David's harp lies before him. Among others his father Jesse and David's brothers look on. Behind Samuel the head of a cow is sacrificed. In the background to the left Samuel asks God for advice and in the background to the right David is fetched to appear before Samuel. In the margin a one-line inscription in Latin from 1 Sam. (incorrectly designated as 1 Kings on the print).
