About this work

A lithographic print titled Samson by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps shows the biblical hero, naked and chained at the ankle, pushing a long wooden beam that turns a millstone within a dim stone prison. A bearded figure sits on a low stool at left beside an arched wooden door, while a shaft of light falls through an opening onto the wall. The French caption beneath recounts how his eyes were put out and he was led to Gaza in chains to turn the mill.
