Daniel in the Lions' Den is a 1711 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a man sitting on a rock, surrounded by several lions. The man is barefoot and wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. He has long hair and appears to be in a state of contemplation or prayer. The lions are arranged around him, some looking at him while others seem to be sleeping or resting. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the lighter tones used for the figures in the foreground. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure.
