Crafted on vellum by an English School artist, this medieval manuscript exudes timeless beauty and artistic finesse. The illuminated historiated letter adds a touch of grandeur to the composition, drawing attention to David's musical prowess. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bring life to every element in the artwork – from the strings of the harp resonating with heavenly melodies to David's serene expression as he immerses himself in creating harmonious tunes.
