Le Pauvre Roi David/
The Poor King David
1968, 170 x 35 x 40 cm, wood

 
"When King David was old and well advanced in years,
he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him."
1 Kings, chap. I, 1

 

This old king only asks for heat;
the heat of the body, the heat of the soul.
Deep down in the evening of his life,
he discovers the essential to all man,
slave or king.
(Pierre de Grauw)
