Original artwork description:
La tristesse du roi is inspired by the iconography of David playing the lyre to relieve Saul of his soul ailment. They are in the company of Jonathan, son of King Saul and a beloved friend of Jonathan.
This biblical scene has multiple representations.
Nicolas Maureau gives here an image where the sadness of King Saul infuses his melancholy on the two other characters. We also think of a composition of “Déjeuner Sur L’Herbe”.
(The work is painted on a reused canvas, a serif of the old composition remains visible in side light)
