    I recently bought this because I really liked it. I tried to research the artist but need help. I think it's a American artist because of the last name. Could also be a english artist as it was bought in the UK. Guess the first name starts with a N or a M followed by Hoeston.

    Would also like to know which story/tale it tells. Any idea's?

    Any info

    Houston, I think.

    The scene is from Samson and Delilah, a biblical story, Old Testament. Although Delilah seems to be holding a lock of her own hair, instead of his.:confused:
