Daniël geknield voor een venster wordt bespied 1798 - 1837

"Daniël geknield voor een venster wordt bespied" (Daniel kneeling before a window is spied on) is a pen and ink drawing created by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar between 1798 and 1837. This small artwork, measuring just 117 mm high and 70 mm wide, depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the Book of Daniel, Chapter 6, Verse 11, illustrating the moment when Daniel is praying in secret and is being watched by his enemies. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the drawing, along with the biblical reference. The image is composed of strong, bold lines, highlighting the figure of Daniel in prayer and the watchful eyes of those observing him, creating a powerful narrative even within such a small format.
