David et Goliath

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene depicting David and Goliath. The artwork features a large figure on the left, armed with a curved sword. He wears a large cap with a feather and a massive cloak. On the right, a smaller figure is depicted in a dynamic stance. He is dressed in a simple outfit and carries a sling in his hand. The background includes a row of tents, suggesting a military camp setting. The line work is bold, and the figures are exaggerated for dramatic effect.
