His opponent's sword in his left hand, David turns his naked back to the viewer, but looks back in three-quarter profile, his right hand supporting his chin. Under his elbow, at the end of the diagonal, lies the severed head of the gigantic Philistine Goliath (OT, 1 Samuel 17). David had stunned the giant with a stone from his sling, then decapitated him with his own sword. The spotted hide refers to David as a shepherd protecting his sheep from wild beasts.
