80 DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS..
The Prophet is represented sitting naked in the midd1 of the den, his hands clasped, and his countenance directed upward with an expression of earnest prayer. Nine lions are prowling around him.
Engraved by Blooteling, Van der Leuw, and Lamb, and in mezzotint by J. Ward. There is also an etching of it by Street, extremely rare.
This is one of the few great pictures by Rubens which we know with
certainty to have been entirely executed by his own hand. Rubens says this
explicitly in an Italian letter to Sir Dudley Carleton, which Mr. Carpenter has
printed in his Pictorial Notices, p. 140.
This picture was presented by Sir Dudley Carleton to Charles I., and is inserted in the printed catalogue of his collection at page 87.

Given by the deceased Lord Dorchester to the king, so
