"David plays the harp for Saul" is a small etching created by Christoffel van (II) Sichem in 1645-1646. The print depicts the biblical story of David, who played music for King Saul to soothe his troubled mind. The intricate details of the etching, with its ornate architecture and detailed figures, are characteristic of Sichem's work. It's a testament to the artist's ability to capture the drama and emotion of the biblical story within a small format. The etching is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the Dutch Baroque period's religious art and the skilled artistry of Christoffel van (II) Sichem.
