Davids lofzang 1645 - 1646

"Davids lofzang" (1645-1646) is an engraving by Christoffel van Sichem (1581-1658). The artwork depicts King David playing a harp in an arched doorway, with two men observing him from below. The detailed architectural setting and the dramatic pose of the king contribute to the piece's Baroque style. The engraving is a testament to Sichem's skill as a printmaker and his interest in biblical themes. This small but impactful piece can now be found at the Rijksmuseum.
