Saul and the Witch of Endor, engraving after Benjamin West
A black-and-white engraving shows a pale, shrouded ghostly figure rising in a smoky interior, gesturing toward a kneeling man who cowers on the floor with his hands outstretched. Two armed soldiers stand at the right and left, one in a doorway at the right and one at the left holding a sword, with the composition framed by a dark arch. The printed caption reads Saul and the Witch of Endor, within a decorative border.
