О картине

Словами музея — на английском

Holding the jawbone as his attribute, Samson looks upward, perhaps to God. The great strongman slew a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass (Judges 15:19). Overcome by thirst, he then drank from the rock at Lechi, a name that also means "jawbone" in Hebrew. Due to a mistaken translation in the Dutch Bible, some artists depicted Samson with a jawbone, rather than the rock, issuing water. Salomon de Bray used a clear light, plain background, and a half-length composition, showing his awareness of the artistic conventions of the Utrecht Caravaggisti. *Samson with the Jawbone* shares the same size, medium, and composition with [*David with His Sword*](http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/538/salomon-de-bray-david-with-his-sword-dutch-1636/); they were probably intended as pendants or companions in a series of Old Testament heroes.
