About this work

King Nebuchadnezzar standing in battle attire triumphantly on the battlefield. At his feet lie defeated men. In the background one of his victories: a defeated king is led away by soldiers. To the left a lion with eagle's wings rises from the sea. It is one of the four beasts from the vision of Daniel. Below the image an explanatory text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
