David is Welcomed after Killing Goliath, and Saul's Jealousy

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a procession scene. The drawing depicts a large group of people gathered in a cityscape, participating in a procession. Various figures are shown in the foreground, some wearing classical robes, while others are wearing armor. In the background, distant landscapes and possibly military elements, such as soldiers with weapons, are visible. The city setting is marked by architectural elements like arches and a tower with reliefs. Engraved text at the bottom suggests a narrative complementing the scene.
