About this work
Joseph has been sold by his brothers to merchants in a caravan. Upon their return, they show their father Joseph's blood-stained garment and tell him they found it in the wilderness. Thus Jacob thinks his son has been devoured by a wild beast. Below the image is a line of Latin text, numbered 3 in the lower left. The print is part of a series of prints on the life of Joseph.
