Surrounded by lions, Daniel prays for his life. Coloured mezzotint by W. Ward, 1794, after P.P. Rubens.
A seated, bare-chested man with hands clasped in prayer gazes upward while several lions crowd around him in a dark cave. Bones and a skull lie on the sandy ground, and a red cloth drapes across the rocks.

Español: Daniel entre leones en una cueva, según Rubens
Un hombre sentado, con el torso desnudo y las manos juntas en oración, mira hacia arriba mientras varios leones se agrupan a su alrededor en una cueva oscura. Huesos y un cráneo yacen en el suelo arenoso, y una tela roja cuelga sobre las rocas.
Português: Daniel entre leões numa caverna, segundo Rubens
Um homem sentado, de torso nu e mãos juntas em oração, olha para cima enquanto vários leões se reúnem ao seu redor em uma caverna escura. Ossos e um crânio jazem no chão arenoso, e um tecido vermelho cai sobre as rochas.
