🖼 Daniel in the lions‘ den, c. 1650
Reed pen and brown ink, brown wash, white body colour
222 × 185 cm

A figure kneels in shadowed darkness surrounded by prowling lions, rendered with dramatic chiaroscuro and dynamic brushwork. The biblical narrative of divine protection transforms into intimate psychological drama, exemplifying Dutch Golden Age spirituality and Rembrandt's mastery of light.
