David der Psalmist - Buße (Fragment) 1854

"David der Psalmist - Buße (Fragment)" is a 1854 drawing by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. It depicts the biblical figure of King David in a state of repentance, as described in the Book of Psalms. This fragment, currently housed in the Städel Museum, showcases the artist's distinctive style of drawing. The delicate lines and faint outlines suggest a preliminary sketch for a larger work, perhaps a painting or mural. The subject matter, a poignant scene of personal reflection, demonstrates Schnorr von Carolsfeld's interest in religious themes and biblical narratives.
