David jouant de la harpe devant Saül

Premiers graveurs, vers 1508

The image shows a drawing of multiple figures. The main focus is on two primary characters positioned in the foreground. The seated figure on the right is shown from the knees up, seated in a chair, leaning forward while holding a staff. He has a beard, wears a turban, and his garment is lined with fur. To his left, a standing man is playing a harp. He has short, straight hair and wears a tunic and boots. Other figures can be seen partially, only showing their upper torsos and faces. The background includes architectural columns adorned with human and mythical figures, alongside hanging bead-like ornaments.
