About the piece
Painted in 1636 by Dutch Golden Age master Salomon de Bray, this portrait depicts the biblical figure David. The work is characterized by a sensitive use of light and shadow, highlighting the fine textures of the embroidered scarf and the youthful intensity of the sitter's expression as he holds his sword.
