Samson and Delilah

Gerrit van Honthorst

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with three people. A shirtless man with short brown hair sits on the bottom left, leaning on a surface. He has a white cloth around his waist. A woman with a white headscarf and red and white clothing stands to his right, cutting his hair with scissors in her right hand. A candle in her left hand provides light. On the left, a man with a blue robe and headscarf looks on, his finger to his lips. The background is dark brown.
