This mezzotint, "Daniël legt Belsazar de tekst op de muur uit" (Daniel Interpreting to Belshazzar the Writing on the Wall), was created in 1777 by Valentine Green (1739–1813). The print depicts the biblical story of Daniel interpreting the mysterious writing that appears on the wall during a feast held by King Belshazzar. The scene is set in a lavish, opulent hall, and the figures are rendered with great detail and expression. This artwork is considered a fine example of the mezzotint technique and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
