About this work

Cyrus II, King of Persia, sits on a horse, holding a flag with the image of a ram (Persia). The horse tramples King Ninus of Nineveh. In the background, a city view. Next to Cyrus, a bear emerges from the sea, a reference to Daniel's vision of the rise of four kingdoms in the world. Below the image, a reference in Latin to the biblical text in Dan. 7. This print is part of an album.
