Hans Holbein the Younger's "David verslaat Goliath" (1538) is a woodcut depicting the biblical story of David's victory over the giant Goliath. The image shows David, armed with a sling, confronting the heavily armed Goliath, while a crowd of soldiers and a tent camp can be seen in the background. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the young and unarmored David and the large and intimidating Goliath. The work is a testament to Holbein's mastery of woodcut technique, capturing both detail and dynamism in the scene. It can be found at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
