Soldaten leiden een man weg op bevel van de machthebber 1772

"Soldaten leiden een man weg op bevel van de machthebber" is a 1772 etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles. The print depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den, as told in the Book of Daniel. Vinkeles skillfully conveys the drama and tension of the moment, capturing the fear of the condemned man and the soldiers' determination to carry out their orders. This etching is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, a prominent artistic movement of the 18th century that emphasized rationality and order.
