It sounds like you're describing a painting that captures the essence of King David's turmoil and longing for peace, as expressed in Psalm 55:6. This verse, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest," reflects David's desire to escape his troubles, and it seems the artist has used this sentiment to convey a sense of yearning and introspection in the portrayal. Leighton's interpretation likely emphasizes these emotional aspects, using visual elements to highlight David's inner conflict and quest for tranquility. 8 $HUNT
