The Prophet Daniel (study for a mosaic in St Paul's Cathedral) is a 1873 oil by Alfred Stevens, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man with short hair, wearing a white tunic with a dark stripe across the chest. His right arm is raised, and his left hand is touching his head. The man's facial expression is one of deep thought or concern. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist's use of color and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this work, you might want to look up Alfred Stevens.
