Painting of a smiling man with a raised fist confronting an older man in a red cap at a barred window, in a dark stone interior.

Samson Threatens His Father-in-Law

A bearded man in a tunic and belt with a sword, long hair and a broad smile, raises a clenched fist toward an older man in a red cap who peers from a barred window at right. Warm light falls on the figure against a dark, shadowed stone interior with columns and a doorway.
