Painting of a turbaned king in gold robes pointing toward glowing Hebrew letters on a dark wall above a feast table, with startled guests around him.

Belshazzar's Feast

A turbaned king in a gold-embroidered robe rises from a banquet table, arm outstretched toward a glowing Hebrew inscription floating in a dark cloud above. Startled guests in fur and feathered hats recoil around the table, while a woman in red at right holds a goblet.
