David grieving over the death of Absalom, engraved by J. L. Fulcrand, published in 1866.
Historical scan of an engraving by Gustave Doré. This dramatic scene depicts the biblical King David in the throes of profound grief, his hands raised in despair as he mourns the loss of his son, Absalom. Surrounded by a solemn retinue within the stone architecture of his palace, the monarch's posture of absolute misery illustrates the David inconsolable at the death of Absalom narrative from the Second Book of Samuel. Sourced from the book La Sainte Bible, originally published in France in 1866.
