The print, measuring 14.1 x 9.6 cm, is housed in the prestigious Fondation Glenat in Grenoble, France. Rembrandt's masterful depiction showcases his signature baroque style, characterized by dramatic lighting and emotional intensity. In this artwork, he portrays David, a prominent biblical figure from the Old Testament known for his faithfulness and loyalty to God. The scene captures David deep in prayer as he plays the harp with utmost reverence. The harmonious music resonates through the room while David's eyes are closed in fervent communication with his Creator. This intimate portrayal invites us into David's bedroom within a townhouse setting—a space that serves as both sanctuary and dwelling place for this devout Christian character.
