Daniel among the Lions

Baron Henri de Triqueti (1803-1874)

c. 1874

Collection: Musée Girodet, Montargis (Loiret)

One of several large drawings in the museum's collections, for the marbles in the Albert Memorial Chapel in St George's Chapel, Windsor. In these, Triqueti borrowed details of clothing or hairstyle from Egyptian or Assyrian art: the full title is Daniel among the Lions Rises at the Call of King Darius. — Laurent Bury
