Jonathan and David (detail)

Luxfer Prism Co, Toronto

1913

Though subtle, the background has many varied elements, from clouds, to open sky, to water, to forest and shrubbery, to mountains. Jonathan's eyes are fixed to a target while he draws his bow, a sheaf of arrows at his hip. He wears a simple belted tunic. David seems to be peering out over the scene from a more forested area.
