David met het hoofd van Goliath 1803 - 1809

This engraving, "David met het hoofd van Goliath," by François Joseph Etienne Beisson, depicts the biblical story of David and Goliath. Created between 1803 and 1809, the artwork shows a youthful David standing confidently with Goliath's severed head at his feet, showcasing the power of faith and courage over might. The dramatic composition and detailed rendering of the figures, particularly the intense gaze of David, are characteristic of the Neoclassical style prevalent at the time.
