David and Abigail is a 1617 oil by Guido Reni, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting shows a woman in a blue robe, with a crown of flowers on her head. She's sitting on a horse, and a man in armor is standing next to her, looking up at her. The woman is pointing to something, and there are other people around them, watching. The woman's blue robe stands out against the darker colors of the people around her. The man in armor has a red cape, which adds a pop of color to the scene. The people in the background are all looking at the woman and the man, like they're watching something important happen.
