David and Goliath, Cartoon for Stained Glass Window at Jesus College, Cambridge
The image depicts a black and white sketch of a biblical scene. A shirtless man sits on the left, holding a sword in his right hand and touching the head of a large man lying on the ground with his left hand. The large man has long hair and a beard, and is wearing a loincloth. He is on the ground with his back to the viewer, his legs bent at the knees. In the background, there are several people standing and one person on horseback holding a spear. There are also hills in the distance. The overall atmosphere suggests a dramatic and intense moment from the biblical story of David and Goliath. The man on the left is likely David, and the large man on the ground is likely Goliath. The sketch appears to be a study for a stained glass window.
