Reverse Copy of the Top of Dagger Sheath with David Holding the Head of Goliath 1529 - 1600

Heinrich Aldegrever's "Reverse Copy of the Top of Dagger Sheath with David Holding the Head of Goliath" (1529-1600) is a small, detailed engraving depicting David standing triumphantly over the fallen Goliath, holding his severed head. The print, likely meant as a decorative element, features a meticulous rendering of the human form, characteristic of Aldegrever's style. The inscription "AW" in the upper left corner, possibly a reference to the artist's monogram, adds to the intrigue of this piece.
