Samson Rending the Lion

Master ES

Cleveland Museum of Art

A man with long hair and no shirt or shoes, wearing a short loincloth with metal rivets and a hat with a tail-like element, grabs the mouth of a lion with his bare right hand; the lion has a long wavy mane and an open mouth with teeth; a woman stands beside them, wearing a head covering and a dress, with foliage above them; the scene includes flowers and foliage at their feet; the image is in black and white. Samson Rending the Lion by Master ES.
