Koning David

A bearded older man in a white turban and fur-trimmed robe leans at a red-draped table, one hand resting on an unrolled scroll while he gazes off to the left. Painted in warm browns and reds, with soft light on the fur and face, the half-length portrait is titled Koning David (King David) in the museum record.
