This 17th-century etching by Hans Janssen, titled *Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar / De vrouw van Potifar beschuldigt Jozef*, depicts two scenes from the biblical story of Joseph. The left panel shows Potiphar's wife attempting to seduce Joseph, while the right panel shows her accusing him of assault after he rejects her advances. This print is part of a series of etchings depicting scenes from the Book of Genesis, a popular subject for art during the Dutch Golden Age. The detailed engravings showcase Janssen’s skill in capturing the dramatic narratives of scripture. The small dimensions, measuring 52 mm x 35 mm, make this print a unique example of fine-scale artistry.
