King David, Two Warriors and Jerusalem (detail)

N.T. Lyon, Toronto

1926

Bright red pennants fly from the staffs of the spear and the battle axe held by King David's warriors. The buildings of Jerusalem can be seen in the background.

A golden crown sits on David's head as he raises his sword, as if offering it to the heavens.
