Oil painting of a turbaned king with a golden rod beside a kneeling young man, with a red-draped table and shadowy statue in a dim room.

Daniel and Cyrus Before the Idol Bel

A turbaned king in a gold-embroidered robe stands at center, extending a golden rod toward the dark floor, while a kneeling young man in dark clothes looks up at him. Beside a red-draped table with gilded fringe, a large sculpted figure looms in shadow under a dim lamp, in an oil painting with strong chiaroscuro.
