Lithograph of David in fur cloak and feathered cap, his hand on Goliath's severed head on a stone block beside a column.

David with the Head of Goliath, lithograph after Guido Reni

A monochrome lithograph shows the young biblical hero David, shirtless and draped in a fur-trimmed cloak with a feathered cap, resting his hand on the bearded severed head of Goliath atop a stone block. A rope lies at his feet beside a classical column, and the crayon-style shading gives a soft, theatrical finish.
