"David der Psalmist - Anbetung" (1854) by German artist Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, depicts a scene from the life of King David, a pivotal figure in the Old Testament. The drawing, held in the Städel Museum, showcases David in a majestic pose, wearing a crown and flowing robes as he plays a harp, while an angel inspires him. The scene's dynamism is heightened by the figure of a scribe taking notes, capturing the divine inspiration flowing through David's music.
