In the article we read, J. Cheryl Exum discusses the way Delilah is portrayed in art and movies while incorporating the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah, also.
I found her discussion of this painting by Gustave Moreau particularly interesting:
In the article, Exum discusses the fact that she is in white, defying the idea of purity or virginity behind the color, but there are small slivers of red, revealing her "true" identity as a harlot or temptress.
