Sculptuur van Daniël in het leeuwenhol en een sculptuur van de heilige Alexius, van gekleurd eikenhout, opgesteld op een tentoonstelling over religieuze objecten uit de middeleeuwen en renaissance in 1864 in Mechelen before 1866

This photograph, taken in 1864, captures two sculptures by Belgian artist Joseph Maes. The sculptures, carved from stained oak, depict the biblical story of Daniel in the lion's den and Saint Alexius. The artwork is a fine example of 19th-century religious sculpture, showcasing Maes's talent for detailed carving and expressive figures. The sculptures were likely created before 1866 and displayed at an exhibition in Mechelen, Belgium, focusing on religious art from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
