David en Nathan c. 1734 - 1801

"David en Nathan" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Buys, depicting a scene from the Bible. It is a work of religious art that shows the prophet Nathan confronting King David about his sin. This scene is known as the "Parable of the Poor Man and the Lamb." The artwork, which dates to around 1734 - 1801, can be seen at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. This piece shows a strong contrast between the two figures with David in a posture of regret and Nathan appearing authoritative and stern. The artwork is a classic example of the use of etching to depict religious stories.
