Italian Master of the 17th Century - Attributed to, David with a Head of Goliath

The artist reproduces the biblical figure of David in close-up, half-length sitting to the right, in front of a dark background. He has long brown hair and his light, naked body is clad only with a brown and blue cloth around his waist. In his raised right hand he holds Goliath's great bearded head up by the hair. The light falls from the left from an unknown source onto his upper body; the face, with reddish cheeks and dark, serious-looking eyes with which he looks out of the picture, remains in the shade., Oil on canvas, rentoiled., 85 x 70 cm
