Art of Samson and other historic or mythological figures drugging their pets.

Note: Image is cropped to just Samson and the Lion.

Image description: Medieval illustration, from a book. On the left half, Samson (long haired, blond) sits atop a lion. He holds open the lion's mouth. The lion's tongue sticks out. On the right half, slightly closer to the viewer, are an older man and woman. They're clad in long green and red robes. The woman has a white head-covering. The man has a green head-covering. They're both looking away from Samson and the lion. The woman's hands are clasped in prayer.
