David haalt zijn twee vrouwen en de buit terug bij de Amalekieten 1720 - 1728

"David haalt zijn twee vrouwen en de buit terug bij de Amalekieten" (David retrieves his two wives and the spoils from the Amalekites), a 1720-1728 etching by Abraham de Blois, depicts a scene from the Bible where David reclaims his wives and plunder from the Amalekites. The engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, presents a dynamic composition featuring a bustling scene of figures in the background and a detailed portrayal of David and his men in the foreground. The work showcases de Blois's skill in capturing the dramatic narrative with expressive lines and meticulous detail, offering a glimpse into the artistic style of the early 18th century.
