Daniel's Answer to the King
Summary
Biblical narrative depicting Daniel in the lions' den. The figure of Daniel stands resolute on the left, before the window of the prison cell in which he has been placed; sunlight shines down on his face and the stone floor around him. Seven lions pad around in the shadows to the right, keeping a cautious distance.
