About this work
King Cyrus standing in battle attire triumphantly on the battlefield with flag and scepter in his hands. At his feet lie defeated men. In the background one of his victories: a defeated king is stabbed by his soldiers. On the right a bear rises from the sea. It is one of the four beasts from the vision of Daniel. Under the depiction an explanatory text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
