Trying to find painting of ancient (Babylonian?) kind
I'm trying to find a painting, and all my searching with Google hasn't been able to help. The painting is of an ancient king (I think Babylonian) whose empire is about to be overrun by an invading army. As I recall, he is in his bed chambers, and his soldiers are around him in the process of destroying his possessions (concubines, fine horses, etc.) so that they do not fall into the hands of the conquerors. I don't know when the painting was created, but I would guess it's a couple hundred years old. Any help in identifying it for me would be appreciated. Thank you.

This is a great painting -- Delacroix, The Death of Sardanapalus.
