"David Holding a Sling" is a notable 17th-century painting by Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, also known as Guercino. Completed in 1647, this striking work is exemplary of the Baroque period and is celebrated for its contrasting use of light and dark - a technique heralded as tenebrism. The painting depicts the biblical figure David, who is recognized as a significant symbol of courage in the Hebrew scriptures.

The focal point of the portrait is David, discernible by the presence of a sling - his weapon of choice in the iconic battle against Goliath. Guercino's portrayal of David exhibits both a physical and symbolic strength, substantial to the characterization of his subject. The artist has utilized deft brushwork and a restricted color palette to underscore the depth of emotion in David’s face while subtly emphasizing his readiness to take the decisive action that is famed in biblical lore.

The artwork, executed in oil on canvas, measures approximately 125.1 x 99.7 cm and is part of the esteemed collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas. Through his inspired interpretation of David grasping his sling, Guercino has created a timeless masterpiece that continues to leave a lasting impression on its viewers. From an art historical standpoint, "David Holding a Sling" is a significant contribution to the canon of Baroque art and a testament to Guercino's skill and artistry.
