This three-light stained-glass window, installed in the 1880s at St Mary’s Church, Stamford, depicts David as the “Sweet Psalmist of Israel”, a title drawn from 2 Samuel ⓘ 23:1. The style and architectural treatment align with the later phase of the workshop founded by Michael O'Connor and continued after his death.
In the central light, David stands playing the harp, his figure poised beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy. He is presented not as warrior but as inspired musician, the author of the Psalms, embodying sacred poetry and spiritual consolation.
