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

Image description: painting of a marble statue of Samson holding open a lion's mouth.

This is a detail from this painting:

Image description of full painting: huge painting, framed, of the Christian Madonna with baby Jesus in her lap. She is seated on a throne. To her left is a blue-robed religious figure with a bishop hat. To her right is a kneeling white-robed man and a standing armored man. There are tiny statues to her left and right, one of which is the detail image.

Found at: wikipedia. In collection of the Groeningemuseum.

I read that as "Virgin and Chad" at first.

Could I have had too much internet? No, it is the words that are wrong.
