Painting of a banquet table with a woman in white seated at center, surrounded by men in plumed hats and dark clothing, under a dim, warmly lit background.

The Wedding of Samson

A warmly lit banquet unfolds around a long white-draped table, where a richly dressed woman in white sits at the center beneath a tall carved chair. Men in plumed hats and dark cloaks crowd the table, one in the foreground turning away, while a red fabric drapes the lower left.
