A Nineteenth Century Needlework Panel Depicting David Playing Before Saul

This needlework picture, executed in tent stitch on canvas, depicts the biblical narrative of David playing before Saul. The composition features three figures dressed in seventeenth or eighteenth-century attire within an interior architectural setting. One figure leans forward from a raised position towards a central figure, while a third figure is shown reclining in the lower right foreground. The left side of the scene is dominated by heavy draped fabric in red and gold tones. The work is rendered in wool and silk threads, consistent with the style of nineteenth-century Berlin woolwork. The panel is housed in a modern, wide, stepped gilt-finished wooden frame. There are no signatures, dates, or inscriptions visible on the face of the work.
