Koning David 1504 - 1533

This woodcut print depicts King David, a central figure in the Old Testament. The anonymous artist, working in the early 16th century, portrays the king with a weathered face, wearing a hat and holding a staff. The inscription “DAVID REX” identifies the subject and emphasizes his royal status. The print's fine lines and detailed rendering showcase the technical skill of the artist. This small artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and religious devotion of the early modern period.
