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.

Español: Sansón amenaza a su suegro

Un hombre barbado con túnica, cinturón y espada, de cabello largo y amplia sonrisa, levanta un puño cerrado hacia un hombre mayor con gorro rojo que se asoma por una ventana enrejada a la derecha. La luz cálida recae sobre la figura contra un interior oscuro de piedra con columnas y una puerta.
