About this work

Daniel sits imprisoned in the lions' den with seven lions. An angel brings the prophet Habakkuk to the lions' den with food for Daniel. On the right the dragon with an arrow-shaped tongue, into whose open mouth Daniel throws cakes. Behind it the temple and the image of the god Bel are smashed to pieces. The print is part of an album.
