This 19th-century print titled "Mijmerende advocaat en David en Saul," by Anthonie van Volkom (1821-1860), depicts a lawyer in contemplation juxtaposed with the biblical story of David playing the harp for King Saul. Van Volkom, a Dutch painter and draftsman, utilizes a striking composition, combining a portrait with a religious scene. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the artistic themes of the 19th century.
