Artwork Description
"David and Abishag" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Fransz de Grebber, currently held in a private collection. The work depicts a poignant scene from the opening chapter of the biblical book of 1 Kings, where the elderly King David is attended by Abishag, a young woman from Shunem who was chosen to care for the king and keep him warm in his final days. De Grebber’s painting captures the intimacy and solemnity of this moment, reflecting both the vulnerability of David and the compassion of Abishag. The artwork is in the public domain and is recognized for its historical and artistic significance, offering insight into both biblical narrative and Dutch Golden Age painting.
