About the piece
Painted around 1650, this oil on panel work by Flemish master David Teniers the Younger showcases his technical brilliance in animal portraiture and atmospheric composition. A pride of powerful lions dominates the foreground of a dark, subterranean space, while the small, brightly lit figure of Daniel appears in the distance, creating a compelling narrative of scale and faith.
