King David Playing a Harp, Hand-Colored Lithograph

A bearded man wearing a gold crown and a flowing red cloak over a blue tunic plays a harp with both hands, seated before a dark cloudy sky. A carved creature perches atop the harp's curved frame, and a small footstool and carved chair stand nearby. The hand-colored print has a framed border and a soft, stormy background.
