A Large Scale Belgium Bronze Study of the Biblical Figure of David Playing the Harp by Jean De Keyser c.1880

This superb and large scale bronze is of an important and highly decorative size. It is the fine workmanship of the highly acclaimed Belgium sculptor Jean- Baptiste De Keyser (1857 – 1927).

It depicts with superb detail a view of the biblical figure of David playing a large ornate harp. David is famed in the bible for being the slayer of the aggressive giant sized warrior, Goliath. He went into combat with Goliath who he killed using a pebble and a simple slingshot. He was not a warrior but a simple shepherd and musician who played the harp and sang for his living. This fine bronze is most impressive and in good original condition with a mid green- brown patination. Signed on the base J De Keyser and also has the Belgium foundry mark, Compagnie Des Bronzes Bruxelles.

Circa 1880

Height 75cm x width 27cm x depth 46cm
