Description
A color lithograph by the acclaimed Romanian-born Israeli artist Reuven Rubin (1893-1974). This piece is an original print from his celebrated "The Story of King David" suite, a collection of twelve lithographs published in 1971.
The artwork depicts a poignant moment from the biblical narrative, likely illustrating David playing his harp for King Saul, who sits beneath a dark, enveloping form. Rubin was known for developing a unique Israeli style of art, blending modernist European influences with a focus on biblical themes and local landscapes.
