Verrocchio, like Donatello, presents us with a child-like form of David. He utilized the classic contrapposto in David's pose as well as adding realism to the piece in the form of Goliath's head between his feet. The look of pride and confidence contrasts with the docile expression which Donatello's David displays. Verrocchio also chose to clothe his image of David in loose, war-like garments, as opposed to the nudity of Donatello's rendition.
