Simson and Delilah, Samson and Delilah, print, printmaker: William Unger, after painting by Anthony van Dyck, printer (person): A. Pisani, publisher: Hugo Othmar Miethke, Vienna, 1861 - 1889, printer (person), Lower Austria, paper, chine collé, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 307 mm x width 430 mm, story of Samson and Delilah (Judges 16:4-21), A monochrome etching showing a chaotic interior scene with several figures in dramatic poses, centered on a muscular bearded man seated and leaning forward as he reaches toward a reclining woman who raises one arm toward him; the woman wears flowing drapery and lies on a cushioned surface with fabric cascading beneath her and a small dog at the foot of the seat; surrounding them are armed men in varied armor and garments, one holding a spiked club and others grasping ropes and the central man's limbs, while a helmeted figure stands to the right and an ominous hooded figure watches from the shadows on the left; the composition emphasizes strong contrasts of light and dark, dense crosshatching, detailed musculature and cloth folds, and a textured background suggesting drapery and architectural elements.
