Aanbod van Abigaïl c. 1695 - 1780

This etching by an unknown artist, created sometime between 1695 and 1780, depicts the biblical story of Abigail offering food to King David. Abigail, kneeling in the foreground, presents a loaf of bread and a basket of fruit to the king, who stands to the right accompanied by soldiers. The detailed drawing captures the scene's drama and emphasizes the gesture of generosity. The etching, held at the Rijksmuseum, provides a compelling visual representation of this classic biblical tale.
