Joseph, who was deported to Egypt as a slave, worked his way to an honorable position with Potiphar. Potiphar's wife tried to seduce the handsome Joseph, but he virtuously rebuffed her attempts, as is very clearly illustrated in our painting by the physical and especially hand gestures. Offended by the rejection, the woman then accused Joseph of approaching her indecently. As a consequence, Joseph was innocently thrown into prison. Oil on wood panel. Framed in a gold-colored stucco frame with vegetal and ornamental decoration. - The wooden panel with few creases due to age. Partially with faint traces of rubbing due to the frame. Varnish slightly yellowed. At all good.
