Description : Scena di pentimento di un re

Oil on canvas. At the center of the scene a king kneels in a contrite attitude before an old man, who bends toward him with an attitude of benevolent welcome; around him the soldiers of the entourage and other dignitaries assist, participating and obsequious. It could be the biblical episode of King David's repentance before the prophet Nathan, who opened his eyes to his sin of concubinage with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah, and then assures him of the Lord's forgiveness. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame, composed of ancient elements, with several missing parts.
