A print of a drawing of Daniel by Peter Paul Rubens, 1577-1640. The drawing was in preparation for the painting 'Daniel in the Lion's Den' by Rubens.
After establishing the position of the figures in compositional drawings and oil sketches, Rubens would make studies after the model for major figures to guide studio assistants in the execution of a painting. Here he outlined the figure in black chalk and blocked out shadows to indicate volume and light. The painting's fidelity to this study indicates that it belongs to the final stages of preparation.
Presented in a wooden frame with a golden finish, it's ready to hang on your wall.
