"Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" is an etching by Johann Jakob Frey the Elder, created between 1700 and 1752. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Joseph resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife. The print is characterized by its dramatic composition, with Joseph's rejection of Potiphar's wife, his hand firmly grasping the drapery as she attempts to pull it away, and his gaze directed towards the heavens. The artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
