The Power of Women: Samson and Delilah by Lucas van Leyden. The image depicts a black-and-white scene with a cloudy sky, trees in the right half, and a city on a hill in the background on the left. The scene features a man lying on the ground on the left, with a sword beside him and a shield in front. A woman sits on the right, cutting the man's hair with scissors. The man is muscular and naked from the waist up. The woman wears a long dress and a head covering. In the far background on the left, a group of people are shown.
