This image depicts a detailed engraving, which seems to be from a biblical narrative given the reference to 2 Samuel 18 in the inscription at the bottom. The scene is a battle or a moment after a skirmish, featuring several armored figures, some on horseback, and others either fallen or in combat. In the foreground, we see a figure slumped over what appears to be a part of a tree or some wooden structure, with others gathered around. On the left, an armored rider is raising a spear, while another rider on the right looks towards the central action, possibly giving orders or reacting to the event. The background consists of a panoramic view with trees and a cityscape in the far distance, suggesting that the event is taking place in a rural setting near a settlement. The style of the armor and clothing indicates that this scene is meant to depict an event from the distant past, possibly the era of the Old Testament, in keeping with the reference to the Book of Samuel. The intricate detail in the engraving, from the expressions on the figures to the natural elements like the trees and the ground, emphasizes the dramatic nature of the scene presented.

The image depicts a scene from the biblical story of Samson, as illustrated by Albrecht Dürer in 1518. The scene shows Samson, a muscular man with long hair, standing in the center of the image, holding a tree branch and wearing a loincloth. He is surrounded by a group of men on horseback, who are armed with swords and spears. The men are attempting to pull down the tree, which is rooted in the ground. In the background, there is a cityscape with buildings and a church steeple visible. The sky is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere of the image is one of tension and conflict. The image is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate textures and shading. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the dramatic effect of the image. The Latin inscription at the bottom of the image reads "Abfolon ex pugna fugiens ex arbore pender" which translates to "Abfolon fleeing from the battle, hanging from the tree". This suggests that the image is depicting a moment from the story of Samson, where he is escaping from his enemies by clinging to a tree. Overall, the image is a powerful and evocative representation of the biblical story of Samson, capturing the drama and intensity of the scene in a detailed and realistic way.
