Boetvaardige man (koning David?) 1653 - 1654

"Boetvaardige man (koning David?)" is an etching created by an anonymous artist in 1653-1654. This small artwork depicts a man kneeling in prayer, possibly King David, a figure prominent in the Old Testament of the Bible. This image is framed within a decorative border and includes a text panel below which suggests its connection to the Psalms of David. It is part of a larger collection in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, and its small size suggests it may have been part of a book or print series. The etching demonstrates the detailed style of the Dutch Golden Age, with its precise lines and dramatic use of light and shadow.
