As near as I can make out from fragmentary internet clues, this is an illustration by Pierre Louÿs for a book by André Collot, titled Au temps des juges. Chants bibliques.
Update: It looks like I may have got this backwards; perhaps Collot was the artist and Louÿs the writer of the book. See the comments.

Wow, more fragmentary internet clues, the better. Or less. What a lovely image.
Was this one of your clues? This version is in colour and shows a few more plates. My understanding of the French description on this blog is that André Collot is thought to be the artist and Pierre Louÿs is the writer. Published 1933.
I just bumped into it while looking up old bookmarks.
Nope! Hug, your link is better than the sourcing I was working from. I agree, it looks like I got the artist and writer reversed. Thanks!
