King Solomon in Prison is a 1847 oil by Henrik Weber, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
In the painting, a man sits on a stone bench, his right arm outstretched towards the wall. He wears a long robe with a patterned top and a white cloak draped over his shoulders. Chains are attached to his legs, and he has a mustache and long hair. The man's expression is one of contemplation, and the dim lighting in the room adds to the somber mood. The stone walls and floor suggest a prison cell, and the man's pose conveys a sense of resignation. This painting, "King Solomon in Prison," invites us to explore the work of artist Henrik Weber.
Henrik Wéber known as Henrik Weber (24 May 1818, in Pest – 14 May 1866, in Pest) was a Hungarian portrait and history painter in the Realism movement.
