Koning David speelt harp 1625 - 1647

This 17th-century etching by Michel van Lochom depicts King David playing a harp. The image is a simple, yet effective, visual representation of the biblical story of David calming King Saul with his music. This small-scale print was likely intended for a private collection or for use in a devotional context. It highlights the skillful draughtsmanship of Van Lochom, who was active in Antwerp during the Golden Age of Dutch art. The etching is a fine example of the art of the period, demonstrating a strong emphasis on realism and detail.
