About this work

To the left, Daniel sits among several lions in the lion's den. He looks up, where the archangel Michael brings the prophet Habakkuk by his hair to Daniel. In his hands, Habakkuk holds food. In the background, Daniel sits with several men near a holy dragon, which he has just caused to burst open by giving it an indigestible mixture; the reason for Daniel's stay in the lion's den. In the background, a city. At the bottom in the margin, a one-line Latin caption from Daniel 14.
