"De farao laat het koren opslaan voor de zeven magere jaren" (The Pharaoh has the grain stored for the seven lean years) is a 1572 engraving by Pieter Jalhea Furnius (1545-1610). The engraving depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph in Egypt. The artwork shows the Pharaoh standing with Joseph overseeing workers as they store grain in preparation for the famine that will follow seven years of plenty. The scene is presented in a realistic style, with detailed architectural features and human figures, typical of Northern Renaissance prints. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
