Description
Dalila sings her spring song to Samson
A theatrical cast in various costumes stands and sits on a tiered stage set against a wide, plain backdrop. In the foreground, an individual in a dark gown with a long, flower-adorned train stands near two people on the right dressed in a tunic and a long robe. A group in light-colored dresses is arranged across the middle steps, while others in robes and hats are seated on the upper platforms.
