| Description |  |
In this biblical scene, King Saul has asked the witch of Endor to summon the ghost of Samuel to predict the outcome of his coming battle with the philistines. Samuel rises out of the earth to inform the king that Israel will be defeated and that Saul and his son will die. The artist's flickering brushwork contributes to the supernatural quality of the scene.
