The anonymous print *David en Abigaïl* depicts a scene from the biblical story of David's encounter with Abigail, wife of Nabal. The scene unfolds within a forested landscape, with a distant walled city in the background. The print is characterized by a detailed rendering of the figures and the surrounding foliage, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work, dating from the 17th century, is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and stands as an example of the popular subject matter of biblical narratives in Dutch art.
